Dear Peacemakers:

I would propose that any Green Party statement that speaks to "shutting =
down
Guantanamo" should call not only for the shutdown of "
<http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/guantanamo-bay_delta.htm=
>
Camp Delta" and the other illegal detention facilities, but also for the
shutdown of the U.S. NAVAL
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guantanamo_Bay_Naval_Base> BASE, which is
being occupied by force against the will of the host country. This base =
is
located near the southeastern tip of the island and covers over 45 =
square
miles of Cuban territory, including both sides of the entrance to =
Guantanamo
Bay <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guantanamo_Bay#History> , which is
considered the finest deep water port in the Caribbean. The U.S. claims =
the
right to "lease" this base from Cuba in perpetuity under a bogus =
agreement
signed in the 1930's, but since 1959 Cuba has not cashed the $4,000 =
annual
rent checks and does not recognize the legality of the lease. For almost =
50
years, Cuba has been requesting the return of their national territory =
to
Cuba. It is indeed time to SHUT DOWN GUANTANAMO.=20

Dear Jacqui,
Witness Against Torture, a member group of UFPJ, has been a leading =

the efforts to shut down the detention center at Guant=E1namo. Now they =

organizing what promises to be an important day of protest on Friday,

Peace,
