Government wish list – 2

I don’t know how I forgot in the first list

  • Return the US to the group of nations which support human rights
  • Close the prison at Guantanamo
  • Quit torturing, that goes for intelligence agencies as well as military
  • Geneva Convention, hello?
  • Everyone in Guantanamo to be either arraigned, if there are legitimate charges, or freed by April 20 (give the Justice Dep’t 90 days)
  • Everyone in there to have the right to counsel, etc. (normal due process)
  • None of this extraordinary rendition stuff
  • You know what I mean

People who there’s no real case against should get some compensation for their mistreatment, too. A personal apology from someone high up in government would be a fine idea.
