Why I Am on a Hunger Strike to Shut Down Guantanamo Bay Prison Adnan Latif spent 10 years in Guantanamo without being charged. He was a poet, father and a husband and had been cleared for release four times. Yet he continued to be imprisoned. He was found dead in his cell, one of 9 men who have died at Guantanamo. He asked, "Where is the world to save the hunger strikers?" My question is a lot more personal: Where are we, citizens of America?

According to the EPA, short-term exposure to elevated sulfur dioxide levels is associated with reduced lung function, chest tightness, wheezing, shortness of breath, respiratory illness, deterioration of the lung's defense systems, and the aggravation of cardiovascular systems.
