Obama Plans to have Tortured Guantanamo Prisoners Tried in US

Democrat Pres elect Obama plans to have the victims of torture known as the prisoners at Guantanamo Concentration Camp tried in the US instead of simply sending them home, thereby legitimizing torture and the fascist American injustice system.

Here is the news story:

These poor people were illegally kidnapped and illegally held in a torture prison known as Guantanamo Concentration Camp. They have been subject to 23 hours a day light and noise in their cells, and all kinds of unspeakable tortures when taken out of their cells. This is the NAZI US MILITARY torturing human beings. They committed the crime of being poor and Muslim, and now the millionaire, warmonger, death penalty promoter, Democrat Barack Obama, wants to try these people who have been tortured in US courts (the torture by definition means there can be no fair trial), where the workingclass never receives any justice unless there is a mass movement against the fascist American legal system on behalf of the prisoner and Obama wants to legitimize the 8 or so years of this torture with trials in Nazi USA's court system.

This comes one week after his vicious saber-rattling against Iran on Election Day. The sordid details on war escalation against Iran are on the World Socialist Website, 11/6/08 at

We now have at least 3 confirmed warmongers on the Obama Team. The first is Barack Obama himself. The second is Vice-President Elect Joe Biden.

According the World Socialist Website, Jose Biden “reiterated Obama’s call for military strikes against Al Qaeda targets in Pakistan and for a greatly increased US military presence in Afghanistan. He denounced the Bush administration’s policy on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, claiming that the White House had been too soft on Hamas and the Lebanese Hezbollah organization, both targets of Israeli military action.”

“In response to one question from moderator Gwen Ifill of PBS, Biden boasted of his long experience as an advocate of US military interventions overseas, going back to Bosnia in the early 1990s, the US bombing of Serbia in 1999, and ongoing efforts to engineer a major military push in oil-rich Sudan, using the mass suffering in Darfur as a pretext.”

The third is Rahm Emanuel, the new chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel's reactionary history is described on the World Socialist Website of 11/6/08 at:
"Class divisions begin to emerge in Obama coalition"

Pertinent paragraphs:
"Obama's selection for White House chief of staff—Rahm Emanuel, the chairman of the Democratic Caucus in the House of Representatives—gives an indication of the reactionary social types he is assembling for his administration. As a senior advisor to former President Bill Clinton, he championed law-and-order, "welfare reform" and other reactionary measures aimed at disassociating the Democrats from the liberal reforms of the past. "

"After leaving the Clinton administration, Emanuel reportedly earned $18 million while employed by the global investment banking firm of Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein in Chicago, where he worked from 1999 to 2002."

"During his run for Congress in 2002, Emanuel broke ranks with the Democratic congressional delegation from Illinois and supported the authorization of the war against Iraq, explicitly backing President Bush. Rising to the fourth-highest position in the House Democratic leadership, Emanuel played a key role in the passage of the $700 billion Wall Street bailout."

"Emanuel has close ties to Israel and is a leading member of the right-wing Democratic Leadership Council, which includes figures such as the Clintons and Senator Joseph Lieberman. He is expected to play a key role in the selection of cabinet appointees, including the Treasury and defense secretaries. These posts are expected to be announced quickly, in order to reassure the markets and the foreign policy and military establishment. "

"In his speech Tuesday, Obama reiterated his commitment to Bush's "war on terror," which has been used as a pretext to assert the geo-political interests of America's ruling elite in energy-rich regions of the world. He issued a warning to "those who would tear this world down--we will defeat you." "

"Obama also repeated the threadbare claim that US troops had been sent to Iraq and Afghanistan to "risk their lives for us," that is, to protect the American people rather than advance the interests of the American capitalist class. He called for a "new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice"--a reference to some form of military conscription."
