Ask your Representative to Co-Sponsor the State Secrets Protection Act, H.R. 984

With no access to legal counsel, no ability to attend their own trial, and "torture" (such as carving their genitals with scalpels) resulting in many false confessions, there really is no burden of proof. Further, such false “evidence” counts as real testimony in post-911 military courts.

Thus, those incarcerated as "terrorists" are overwhelmingly proven to be innocent by their lawyers (if they are lucky enough to have one), while the guilty walk free.

Every American needs to know this fact. Too many Americans believe that to turn "Terrorists" in is to protect our country. Too many believe that "Terrorists" such as those innocent in Guantanamo, do not deserve a trial. That's exactly what gets the innocent jailed and practically killed, and the guilty set off free. That's exactly what results in random abuse of power, while bounty hunters are rewarded for turning in those who to this day, according to reiterated statements by the Center for Constitutional Rights and the ACLU, have yet to be charged with a single crime.

Please write your editors. Comb the ACLU and CCR's websites for info, quote it in letters to the editor, and please write Congress. Please ask readers of your letters to write Congress.

"It won't do any good".

Well by golly, neither will sitting there idle.

"Politicians don't care what we think."

Obviously that's not true, given the mass resignations when scandals were about to break.

What of the fact that politicians want to be re-elected? Oh, sorry I forgot. Of course, the votes are rigged. True.
