Margolis article exposes Guantanamo Injustice

[glarius]

As many of you know Margolis is an American mid-east expert living in Toronto...He has opposed the war on Iraq from the beginning...He writes for the Toronto Sun, which is a conservative newspaper, but week after week Margolis, who is a Republican, writes these columns exposing Bush and his buddies as the criminals they are....This one is about Capt. James Yee, the muslim army chaplain held at Guantanamo.

"Capt. Yee was charged with spying and thrown into solitary confinement in a naval prison for 2 1/2 months, where he was chained hand and foot. Jailers refused to tell him the direction in which Mecca lay so he could properly pray. He was denied family visits and repeatedly threatened with execution."

1. Margolis has a lot of wisdom.

Reading him is a Sunday ritual. Thanks for posting.

"Capt. Yee courageously refused to be intimidated into confessing to crimes he did not commit. His only serious offence, according to the evidence so far available, was being a caring chaplain in a Devil's Island created to terrify and punish Muslims."

2. He has written fearlessly against Bush and his gov't....I wonder if he

has ever encountered problems at the border when he crosses into the States?....

3. I love Margolis.

He's fearless, and speaks the truth more often than not.

I read the Edmonton Sun and it seems like every week there's an anti-Margolis ("anti-American bozo!", etc) letter from some irate rightwing idiot.
