You, President Obama, must demonstrate immediate, tangible progress toward the closure of Guantanamo, or the men who are on hunger strikes will die, and you will be ultimately responsible for their deaths.
Where are you, Congress?
Well, Congress, you must not sleep well at night. And contrary to what you believe or what you might believe the American people believe, you can not incarcerate forever a group of people who have not been tried. Sticking them in Cuba will not hide the fact, either. Just as the infamous prison in Northern Ireland where men such as Bobby Sands conducted hunger strikes, died, and stained forever Britain's human rights record, so Guantà ¡namo stains America.
And where am I? Well, I know where this one American is. I stand in solidarity with the Guantanamo prisoners on their hunger strike and I have been, and will continue to, fast indefinitely until justice comes. Shut Guantanamo down!
