The ACLU is planning a “Wear Orange Day” tomorrow across the country (h\/t Michele Malkin<\/a>). I’ll let them explain;<\/p>\n

Friday, January 11, 2008<\/strong>: The 6 year anniversary of the first prisoners being brought to Guant\u00c3\u00a1namo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last year on January 11th, after 500 people processed from the Supreme Court to the Federal court, 150 people risked arrest on behalf of the men in Guantanamo, with 88 being arrested inside the Federal Court in DC. Many of those arrested withheld their identification and took the names of men at Guantanamo. It was a very powerful day, made possible by the contributions of many in the extended Catholic Worker family.<\/p>\n

This year, we again are working with many groups on a demonstration in Washington, D.C. The day will begin with a rally at the National Mall co-sponsored with Amnesty International and the National Religious Campaign Against Torture followed by a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153prisoner procession\u00e2\u20ac\u009d to the Supreme Court. Endorsed by the American Civil Liberties Union, Bill of Rights Defense Committee, Center for Constitutional Rights, CodePink, International Federation for Human Rights, Network of Spiritual Progressives, Peace Action, School of the Americas Watch, Torture Abolition and Survivors Support Coalition International, United for Peace and Justice, War Resisters League, and 100 other groups.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So tomorrow, they’re planning some leftist theater on the Mall in Washington, DC.<\/p>\n

Shut Down Guant\u00c3\u00a1namo!
\nFriday, January 11, 2008
\n10 a.m. – Gather at the National Mall for Orientation to Prisoner March (National Mall @ 12th street NW btw Madison Dr NW & Jefferson Drive SW – near the Smithsonian Metro Stop)
\n11 a.m. – Permitted demonstration on the National Mall co-sponsored by Amnesty International and National Religious Campaign Against Torture
\n12 p.m. – Guant\u00c3\u00a1namo Prisoner Procession from the National Mall to the Supreme Court (2 plus miles)
\n1:30 p.m. – Funeral Ceremony at the Supreme Court remembering the four men who died in custody at Guant\u00c3\u00a1namo and mourning the death of Habeas Corpus<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Who knew it’d take an hour to learn to walk like a prisoner. I wonder if they’ll mention that some of the four who died committed suicide – probably because they can’t go home where they’ll be tortured a whole lot worse than a coupla dunks in a bucket.<\/p>\n

It’s kinda short notice, but I’m going to try to get there and get a couple of photos and videos. Stay tuned and check back tomorrow afternoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
