1.  WHY IS CAMP X-RAY IMPORTANT?

Imagine yourself imprisoned in a foreign country on trial for a crime.  Could you respect that country's justice system if it didn't allow you a lawyer or some kind or a fair trial?   Suppose it refused you legal counsel, kept you imprisoned without even charging you with a crime, refused to release your identity (so that your family and country wouldn't even know where you were) and refused to allow anyone (such as Amnesty International) to observe your condition?  Suppose that country also refused to grant you POW status, wouldn't tell you when, if ever, you might be released, and kept you locked away in a secret, remote place indefinitely?  This is exactly what the U.S. is doing, right now, to it's detainees in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.  They call it Camp X-Ray.

The reputation of the U.S. is at stake. And the ideals our country was founded on are at stake.

2.  THESE ARE al Qaeda and Taliban - THE BAD GUYS, WHO CARES ABOUT THEIR RIGHTS?  WHAT ABOUT WHAT THEY DID TO US?

3.  WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL ABOUT NOT HAVING "LEGAL COUNSEL"?

4.  THEY "HAVE NOT BEEN CHARGED" WITH CRIMES.  SO WHAT?

5.  WHAT'S THE GENEVA CONVENTION?  WHY DOES IT MATTER HERE?
