A Justice Department-led task force recently released its recommendation to continue holding nearly 50 Guantanamo detainees indefinitely! These actions are in direct violation of civil liberties, human rights, and a Supreme Court ruling in 2008 that confirmed Guantanamo detainees' rights to habeas corpus.(via Amnesty International)
This is utterly unacceptable behavior. Even those detainees that might be guilty of committing terrorist acts against the United States should be tried properly. When we disregard the rule of law we essentially give others the justification to do the same. Take some time to write the president and your congress person in order to help restore the rule of law.
