Final Push on Guantanamo

This is it! Guantanamo might be seeing its end soon. The debate is heated in the US government - recently there was talk on starting to transfer Guantanamo detainees and now the Democrats just announced that they will cut the funding for Guantanamo in half. This prison is the symbol and the center of President Bush's assault on international law and now we have a chance to shut it down. Our pressure can tip the balance: sign the petition below.

 
Petition to US President Bush: We call upon US President Bush to close Guantanamo Bay prison forever. Every detainee should be charged with a crime and tried in a legitimate court or immediately released. We further call on President Bush to respect international law and basic human rights in the handling of all current and future prisoners in US custody.
