US Christians to Arrive in Guantánamo Today as 4 Christian Peacemakers in Iraq face execution

“Our march says that the work of Christian Peacemaker Team in Iraq is like the work that we're doing here as we march to Guantánamo. We're all looking for just and humane treatment for all the detainees whether in Guantánamo, Iraq or other hidden detention camps we can't reach.”
-Sr. Anne Montgomery, Marcher and member of Christian Peacemaker Teams in Iraq

“The only thing standing between us and the Guantánamo prisoners is George Bush's permission.”
-Gary Ashbeck with the Witness Against Torture

1. Two thoughts
1. Those are some very brave folks.
2. I wish Harry Truman was around, cuz he called Nixon a "son-of-a bitch"--he'd have some very choice words for these murderous, evil thugs that have seized this country.
