Pres. Bush: Close Guantanamo Prison - Online Petition

Nearly 400 men are trapped in the prison at Guantanamo without charge or trial. This prison is the symbol and the center of President Bush's assault on international law. But now we have a chance to shut it down -- Bush's own Secretary of Defense is publicly calling for closing Guantanamo. Bush’s advisors are split, and a global outcry could tip the balance. Sign the petition below. We’ll run the petition and number of signers in key US newspapers as soon as we have signatures from every country:

Petition to US President Bush: We call upon US President Bush to close Guantanamo Bay prison forever. Every detainee should be charged with a crime and tried in a legitimate court or immediately released. We further call on President Bush to respect international law and basic human rights in the handling of all current and future prisoners in US custody.
