La prisión en la isla

This just makes me angry.

I can ignore more or less most of the Bush bullshit, but the human rights disaster at the US Military base on the communist island boils my blood. I am only heartened by the fact that the Supreme Court is returning some justice slowly to the prisoners of war, aka ‘enemy combatants.’ Anyway, if you don’t already know the torturous news about the military techniques practiced there, then go read up on the case of Al Qahtani v. Bush.

This image is from a t-shirt. The shirt is literally composting while I wear it. Its got holes in the back and the cuffs are frayed. I got it about 10 years ago from my sister, who did not want it anymore because it did not fit her. Plus, I think that it might have been a little too political for her tastes.

She said she got it from a cousin of ours in Miami. This always confused me because I thought there was only one kind of Cuban in Florida and that was the Republican kind. The kind that supports policies of isolation and covert operations to kill. But I digress.

I would like to see whether anyone would buy a bummer sticker made from this image to support the Center for Constitutional Rights’ work defending the men, women, and children held in indefinite hell by our government. I am thinking of doing a small run of them. $5 each? 10 for $50?
