I am just about to go to bed, but I have to share this with everyone.
Working Assets, my progressive wireless provider whom I highly recommend, sends me updates on various issues on a pretty regular basis. They also provide me with infinite free minutes to call my representatives in Washington, including the president. Anyway, here’s the content of the e-mail they just sent me:
Send Scooter Libby to Guantanamo or Shut It Down
Today a judge ruled that Scooter Libby must begin serving his prison sentence while his appeals are being heard. Libby, of course, participated in the outing of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame — thus endangering our national security — and was convicted and sentenced to thirty months in jail for perjury and obstruction of justice.
Well, we have a special suggestion. Why shouldn’t Scooter Libby serve his sentence at the Guantanamo Bay prison? After all, the Bush Administration asserts that things are just fine there, and Libby — unlike many at Guantanamo — has in fact been convicted of a crime that endangered our national security.
They make a good point!
