Protesters gathered outside Starbucks on the tenth anniversary of the International Day Against Torture.

The group handed out leaflets to passer-bys to advertise that the coffee shop has an outlet at Guantanamo Bay for US soldiers ...

"People there are being tortured in the very place Starbucks is selling coffee to the people who are torturing them."

2. Gladly done!

I'm sure its a case of 'if you don't service Guantanamo Bay, you don't get any other Army contracts' whether just implied or not, but that does not excuse Starbucks of aiding and abetting torture.

Please write. Choose 'Corporate Social Responsibility' for the subject. There are more Democrats who drink at Starbucks (you know, those latte sipping Liberals) than the customers at army bases, and if enough of us voiced our displeasure, they would have to act.
