> I thought you would like to know about a new campaign to close the prison 
> at Guantanamo Bay, where President Bush is holding nearly 400 detainees 
> without criminal charges or trials. For the first time, some of his top 
> advisors have called for closing this affront to international law, 
> including his own secretary of defence. This split inside the 
> Administration gives us a real chance close Guantanamo forever.
>
> A new group called Avaaz is putting together a global petition to close 
> Guantanamo. We will run the petition in key US newspapers as soon as we 
> have signatures from every country. You can sign up here:
