American "Justice"

The definitive account to-date of the methods employed in Guantanamo was published in Sunday's Observer, as the three Britons released last week from the facility tell their story.

Not a pretty story, mind -- far from it. But maybe the most important single piece of journalism since the advent of the "War On Terror". (It also makes a good companion to last week's New York Times report on detentions in Iraq, in which an Iraqi Human Rights lawyer laments that, "Iraq has turned into one big Guantanamo.")

What you can do: Incredibly, only one other news source -- Mathaba.net of Africa -- appears to have picked up the story. E-mail your local newspaper, asking it to run the story, and e-mail all your friends, asking them to do the same.
