Comments on: Gitmos Across America http://mcseavey.org/blog/2007/06/27/gitmos-across-america/ The wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. -- Mary Oliver Thu, 02 May 2013 13:20:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Mardé http://mcseavey.org/blog/2007/06/27/gitmos-across-america/comment-page-1/#comment-4191 Mardé Mon, 02 Jul 2007 17:10:21 +0000 http://mcseavey.org/blog/index.php/gitmos-across-america/172/#comment-4191 Thanks for your comment, Andy. I checked the link and see that Australia at least has an Ombudsman dealing with the situation, like the case of the guy who had been living in Australia legally for three years, and was on a bridging visa while he was waiting for a new visa.

The Ombudsman said a review of his details would have easily showed this but he spent seven days over Christmas-New Year at a detention facility waiting for public servants to return to work.

So the poor guy spent Christmas and New Year being detained while the public servants maybe celebrated Christmas by dining on turkey and plum pudding. Amazing!

We could use a few Omsbudsmen in this country.

Yes, the word needs to be spread, and more and more people are catching on to what this administration is doing and trying to get away with.

Thank you too!

The Patriot Act, The Real Id Act, Massive Detention Centers. We all should be scared. Scared enough to act out against these direct attacks of our Constitution. The more of us that bring light upon these issues the more obvious it will become.

Thanks for spreading the word, my friend.
