Andy is right as ever, Elise Swain, though there is not a lot left to destroy of the pathetic Military Con-mission (as labeled by Binyam Mohamed)

For this week's Unauthorized Disclosure, Rania Khalek and I talked with Andy Worthington about the systemic torture and injustice at Gitmo that continues to unfold at the US military prison. It's been the site of rampant abuses for nearly 8,000 days.

It’s going to take us a while to digest what we saw when we went to help salvage tents and equipment for a refugee charity at the end of Leeds Festival yesterday.

This is just a fraction of it — littering on the grandest scale we’ve ever witnessed.

Utterly appalling.

40 years ago today, one of the best live albums ever was recorded at #NottingHillCarnival - 'Live and Direct' by the UK roots reggae band Aswad, then at the height of their powers. One of my very favourite albums of all time! discogs.com/release/587670…

Please join us in calling for the closure of the prison #Guantanamo Bay today, and every other day. #7900days Mansoor Adayfi 441 منصور الضيفي Andy Worthington

Today the prison at #Guantanamo Bay has, shamefuly, been open for 7,900 days. Please join me, former prisoner Mansoor Adayfi & others in the US & around the world in calling for its closure closeguantanamo.org/Gitmo-Clock-20…

My mom wanted me to share this New Yorker cartoon by Maddie Dai with yall.
