My Golden Gate-Gitmo By the Bay
SAN FRANCISCO FINALLY DOES ITS PATRIOTIC/MATRIOTIC DUTY!
Item:
The Brava! For Women in Arts company is presenting the West Coast premiere of Guantanamo: Honor Bound to Defend Freedom at the Brava Theatre in San Francisco through April 24th. … The drama immediately sets out to show that the treatment of the prisoners is not in line with Geneva Convention rules since the American government does not consider them POWs but “legal detainees” who don’t seem to get fair trials.

Donning orange jumpsuits and black hoods on Sunday, dozens of demonstrators in San Francisco urged the immediate closure of the American detention and interrogation camp at Cuba’s Guantanamo Bay….
“We’re trying to send a message that torture is unacceptable,” said Giovanni Jackson, 27, a San Francisco resident and a youth organizer with World Can’t Wait, which sponsored the event. “Guantanamo has to shut down, along with other torture apparatus, to bring home the reality of what our government is doing.”
I couldn’t agree more with these fine patriots;
“Bring home the reality” baby!
The “world can’t wait”!
We’re “honor bound to defend freedom”!
CLOSE GUANTANAMO AND OPEN ALCATRAZ NOW!
Since they have insisted Guantanamo be closed, it’s very decent of them to volunteer San Francisco to take its place–and they even have our bipartisan support!:
If liberals believe they ought to go, maybe we ought to open Alcatraz,” Boehner, R-Ohio, told NBC “Meet the Press.” Being reminded that Alcatraz is a national park, Boehner responded, “It’s very secure.”
Problem solved! And now, a musical interlude from Mr. Tony Bennett:
(intro:)The loveliness of Paris
Seems somehow sadly gay
The glory that was Rome
Is of another day
I’ve been terribly alone
And forgotten in Manhattan
I’m going home to my city by the bay.
I left Khaleed in San Francisco
prison on an isle, it screams “Detainees!”
To be where little cable cars
Climb halfway to the stars!
The morning prayers may fill the air
I don’t care!
Khaleed waits there in San Francisco
Amidst the blue and windy sea
When Alcatraz is home, San Francisco,
Your Ninth Circuit will set them freeeeeeee!
