We need to end all types of imprisonment without charge.
The world is not going to be a safer place by locking up 'supposed' criminals.
We do not even know that these people are guilty!

When is the world going to realize that nothing is going to change, we need to end this war, we need to set free those that are not guilty and concentrate on pro peace marches not anti war marches!

Group consciousness is a very important tool for manifesting, perhaps if peoples grouped there consciousness together for longer than 5 minutes to focus on a peaceful resolution then we would all be in a better position instead of living on the edge all year long.

Close the military prison and do it now, before more innocent people are taken away from their family's and more anger spreads across the world.

What legacy are we leaving our great great grandchildren?

After all it will be them that we will depend on if this war continues and we need our future generations to develop peace and compassion to help us into old age, and exactly from where are they going to learn peace and compassion?

Think about it.

For peaces sake, close the prison and end the war on terrorism.

Namaste.
