The Danish section of Amnesty International has worked with Danish rock star Anne Linnet. Anne has composed a song to the lyrics written by Guantanamo detaniee Usama Abu Kabir. Check it out at www.amnesty.dk/guantanamo
The content is written in Danish, but you can listen to the touching track. Click the player on your left hand side, lean back and listen to the words that made it out of Camp X-ray.

Or, if you like, you can click over to my website and hear the world's smallest violin playing, "Cry me a river"

I just don't get it. How is the simplest of ideas, that all people deserve the right to have a fair trial, regardless of citizenship or what they are accused of such a crazy idea nuke? Plus, couldn't you at least find a small violin and take a picture of it in your hand? Now, that would be funny.

It's not a crazy idea clorenz1. It's a wonderfully idealistic idea, even for alqaeda and taleban scum. You would think that Sheehan, Benjamin, and the rest of the codepinkos would be sensitive to the plight of others in similar situations. But in their self-righteous hypocrisy refused to not only meet with a group of wives of jailed Cuban dissidents, The "Ladies in White", but also had the gall to claim that they "stood for human rights everywhere". Right--as long as they can blame America first.
I thought the violin thingy was kind of funny. Sorry. I haven't had a cigarette in 11 days after 32 years of smoking -- and I'm cranky as Hell.
