Justice

Tell you what I want to hear from Obama.

That on being elected, proceedings will start against President Bush for taking America into an illegal war.

That the full details of the converstaions which took place a year before the war with PM Blair will be released.

That immediately Guantanamo Bay will be closed and all the 'prisoners' will be either released, tried in American Courts or returned to where they came from.

That an immediate inquiry will be started, jointly with the UK to investigate extra-ordinary rendition.

That all figures relating to the number of Iraqis detained or arrested will be released, including the numbers handed over to the Iraqi authorities, and what has subsequently happened to them.

That all financial details will be released as to the amounts of money handed over to militia groups, how much and to whom.

I quote from Peter Kropotkin, Words of a Rebel :-

'Do not let anyone tell you that we are only a tiny handful, too weak ever to attain the grand objective at which we aim.. All we who suffer and who are outraged, we are an immense crowd; we are an ocean in which all could be submerged. As soon as we have the will, a moment would be enough for justice to be done'.

Let America have justice, let Britain have justice, let the world have some justice for the crimes committed in our names.

Bush and Blair have brought shame on their respective countries, they must not be allowed to escape; justice for the dead, the maimed, the destitute, some of us will never forgive, if you promise us nothing else Obama, promise us justice.
