Guantanamo is emblematic of a militarized world stripped of humanity or justice. It looms as the salient icon of the new world order.

by Mike Whitney

To fully appreciate the depravity of the Bush claque, we only need to visit the Rush Limbaugh web site, where the drug-addicted spokesman for the administration is currently hawking T-shirts (Orange; "I got my free Koran and Prayer Rug at G'itmo" or, orange baseball cap reading "Camp G'itmo") and baseball caps in an public relations scheme to trivialize the horrors of systematic torture of detainees in US custody.

We can add a new chapter to the Bush Administration's war on free speech as it was revealed yesterday that an Al Jazeera cameraman has been in custody for three years at Guantanamo Bay. Al-Hajj a Sudanese national was arrested in Afghanistan in 2001 and has remained in prison without being charged for 4 years. Is this what Rumsfeld breezily refers to as the "worst of the worst"? If so, independent journalists around the world should take note.
