Torture "Is the Recipe for the Destruction" of International Human Rights
This is a great interview with British Lawyer Gareth Pierce regarding the British men now suing the United States Government over their treatment in Guantanamo Bay.

<<SNIP>>
"In a Democracy Now! exclusive, we speak with leading British human rights lawyer, Gareth Pierce. She is the lawyer for two of the four British citizens recently released from Guantanamo Bay and has represented the Birmingham Six and Guilford Four."
<<END SNIP>>

<<SNIP>>
"A federal judge ruled Monday that the military tribunals set up by the Pentagon to determine the status of men and women held at Guantanamo Bay are unconstitutional in nature since they don't allow detainees access to lawyers or to evidence against them."
<<END SNIP>>
