As his lawyer at Reprieve, I ask the same question. Like the vast majority of Guantánamo prisoners, Saifullah has never been charged with a crime nor had the opportunity to defend himself at trial. Saifullah is not on hunger strike; he has never been. … [Read more...] about Donald Trump Must Succeed Where Obama Failed and Close Guantánamo

Earlier in the speech, De Niro referred to the Screen Actors Guild, a union for professional actors, by saying that "political leaders who support unions are more likely to support Affordable Care Act, equitable taxes, humane immigration regulations, a safe environment, diverse citizenry, reproductive rights, sensible gun control, and fair wages and benefits.

President Donald Trump on Sunday hailed the trade deal signed last week with China for dramatically improving relations with Beijing, saying it was "much better" than he expected. The "phase one" deal marks a truce in the two countries' trade war after nearly two years of tensions. But with tariffs still in place on two-thirds of more than USD 500 billion worth of imports from China, US consumers and businesses will be left to foot the bill.

More recently, he's pledged to bring back waterboarding "and a hell of a lot worse."

He's also continued to hide, redact and classify evidence of our atrocities, which are laid out in the Senate's report on torture. As all of this has unfolded, I can't help but think we're hanging a great victory to Al-Qaeda and our other enemies. Their brutality has made us brutal too. … [Read more...] about Trump Is Wrong: ISIS and Al-Qaeda Would Benefit From Bringing Back Torture
