Day of Action to Restore Law & Justice
Friends---my apologies for not being more productive on findhabeas, but I've been struggling to get through the excellent Gellman/Becker Cheney expose in the Post, which I plan to write about at length today. It really teases out the ideological strain of executive supremacy that's informed so much of what the Bush administration (and Cheney, as a double-duty vice president, quasi-chief-of-staff) has done vis-a-vis detention policies post-9/11.
Before I get to that, however, several reminders are in order (kind of like the announcements before the rabbi gives the Saturday speech at temple).
First, tomorrow is the first-ever Day of Action to Restore Law & Justice. The full agenda is here; please sign up to attend, and bring friends.
Second, I plan to be live-blogging the event all day, so I'll have on the spot interviews with the rally speakers, and, hopefully, with some of you all. I'll also have a video crew at my disposal, so we'll be posting video blog entries all day. Should be fun---Charlie Palmer's on me after the rally (I'm SO kidding).
Third, House Subcommittee on the Constitution hearing tomorrow on Gitmo and habeas.

Dear sir/ madam,
Please refer to your call for action to restore The constitution, Hebeas corpus and other fundamental rights by ACLU and other Affiliates.
In a series of ongoing torture and abuse for the past three years, which I had not only brought to your notice but also appealed to the lawmakershoping some releif.As i have, in one of my private mails to my nephew explained my conditions of being in a shelter and desire to be out of that place; the very day evening I was not only abused by the security but also intimidated by an associate of a consultant apparently working for Catholic Charities and possibly for FBI and may be both, warning me that my protests of any kind would only increase the chances of abuse and it might get even worse...?.
The fallowing day when I had responded to the call for action by ACLU by confirming my participation, I was as in the past once again FOOD POISONED.The fallowing day , i.e Yesterday once again I was food poisoned as I have started feeling sick and week. Apparently it was a Pie which was served to me and interestingly later on, it has been reported that the PIE was missing / stolen and in its place others ( the inmates of the shelter)were served a cake.The disappearing of the Pie happened while there is only one way entrance, which is all most guarded by half a dozen security personal and other staff.
My hunch and suspicion is that a person named JAMES STREET ( MSW), US Dept of veteran Affairs Medical centre- DC- 20422 was the person who had brought in the PIE for the purpose of food poisoning me as he is often seen eves dropping on me.
It is possible and Most likely as I have petitioned earlier to ACLU for their help and intervention in the ongoing Torture and abuse and the Catholic Charities and FBI intent on stopping me from either attending today's action or intimidate me or silence me further from representing my case.
Besides these ongoing tortures and poisonings, where time and again i ended up in emergency wards of DC hospitals, quite a few times, The German Centre located at China town where the computers are being hacked from the Justice Dept office buiding, where the German centre is located and The DCPL also known MLK Library, where the day today affairs are being monitored by FBI with their physical presence and a command centre,In addition to Cops and Streets full of convicted blacks, almost numbering more than a hundred keep their physical vigilance on my moments while I am not at the shelter. In Case if I avoid going to shelter and as I do sleep or spend my nights in the Outdoors, The Cops make it sure by threatening to arrest me, unless I leave the place and go to some shelter, which all most all of them being RUN by Catholic Charities In Washington DC, as they have methodically in the past have stolen everything including my ID papers and I have been Penny less for the past one and half years of my tortured life in Washington DC, so far The ACLU and Amnesty and many of the law makers are of little help,including UN, which has reported that US is not a signatory to the UN human rights convention so despite the fact that they have reports of my situation they can do nothing about it.
On the other hand with the ongoing debate of 12 million Illegal immigrants who want to be legalised and want to stay in US , In contrast, I have been for the past three years, desperately trying to leave US, even attempting an entry and asylum in Canada.( since 9/11 US had a pact with Canada that they would not entertain any person from US with reference to asylum and other requests for granting entry or permission to live).
It is indeed very SAD that That i have not been aware of any such crime that merits the kind of treatment that I have been facing since my arrival, on the other hand the involvement of Catholic community in torture and abuse and violation of my presonal rights despite the fact I do not prescribe to any religion or practice one nor I have any hatred or indifference to the ones who do except that I be treated like a human being with the fundamental rights that any democracy professes to safe guard and with a right to appeal in case of injustice, which as such being denied and the involvement of Religious groups in sinister and abusive practices is what makes one doubt the validity of religion as right and fair frame work for our lives, values and humanity.Irrespective of the fact of denomination, is it that ,today religion has lost its credibility to represent humanity with fairness and has become flawed and finally GODLESS.
It is our misfortune both as collective and individual, that the institutions that were created for our safe guard and for the service of humanity have lost their direction, instead have become destructive, spreading hatred, mistrust, class and racial divide, making us incomplete and flawed and ultimately Inhuman and God less.
Though, due to my sickness and weak disposition, it might not be possible for me to be with you all, in your endeavor to restore some of the fundamental rights that take care of our democracies and societies from falling further from grace and become victims of reckless self destruction. I send my unwavering support and willingness to stand by as and when occasion demands in spreading the message of hope and actionand wishing you all the best.
with warm regards,
