Send Scooter Libby to Guantanamo, or close Guantanamo down

ActforChange says that Scooter Libby, since he endangered US national security by outing a CIA officer, should be sent to Guantanamo, like the alleged terrorists imprisoned there. The Bush administration maintains that the conditions there are humane, so Libby should be OK.

Former President Bush called them the "most insidious of traitors." He was referring, of course, to those who reveal the identities of America's covert operatives.

Scooter Libby is a traitor and is being detained in jail while his appeals are being heard. Why not send Libby to Gitmo? Unlike other people currently detained at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, he's been convicted of his crimes in a court of law. You might say this is inappropriate -- but if it isn't good enough for Libby, then it isn't good enough for anyone.

I ask that you publicly call for Scooter Libby to be imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba -- or, join fellow senators in co-sponsoring legislation to shut down Guantanamo. Senator Feinstein has introduced legislation (S. 1249) that will require President Bush to shut down the detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

You should sign on as a co-sponsor -- or publicly call for Scooter Libby to serve his sentence there.

I look forward to your response to my letter.
