Why is my dad far away in that place called Guantanamo Bay?

Five years on, no end to the horror that is Guantanamo

Ten-year-old Anas el-Banna will walk to the door of Number 10 Downing Street this week to ask for an answer to the question he has been trying to have answered for four years: Why can't my Dad come home?


His father, Jamil, is one of eight British residents languishing among the almost 400 inmates at the American base at Guantanamo Bay, which opened five years ago to the day this Thursday - the day of Anas's protest.

1. alright

on one hand I have a million problems with the bush administration's tactics

on the other, I hate seeing cute kids used to win arguments


I sincerely hope there's a special place in hell set for Brownback and the 'snowflake children' he paraded in front of congress to campaign against stem cell research.
