The cages on the Hudson, AKA Little Guantanamo He's out. You can't get near the place today. I tell people what happened and they can't believe it. I would not have believed it either, except I was there for 11 hours. Then another 15 hours downtown. Excellent first hand account here: http://nyc.indymedia.org/newswire/display/107675/index.php If I had not been arrested, I would not have known anything like this was going on. 1000- 2000 people, in barb-wire cages, at this very moment on the Hudson River. No joke. Totally surrounded by police. ACLU lawyers, Reporters, everyone being denied access. Just starting to hit the media. -ed On Sep 1, 2004, at 2:57 PM, grimmwerks wrote:

I cross posted this to the Politics list, just getting so little media coverage, and yes, I met a few Java Programmers there, plus the guy that has the bike that writes messages by WifI got nailed by the police too (writing "America Home of the Free") ... so I guess hopefully the word gets out. ---------------
Does anyone on this list know there are now up to 2000 people imprisoned in barb-wire cages on the Hudson River that don't know what their charges are, have not had any rights read to them and are being denied any access to any legal representation?
I was there, it was real. It would blow your mind. YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT IN AMERICA BEFORE.
Or as the police call it: Little Guantanamo
