HUMAN first, then a proud IRANIAN

This blog represents the way I see some of the most significant events impacting the world and its citizens. This blog also represents how I react to the events as a member of humanity with a voice, a determined voice that insists to be heard. The voice of an Iranian who loves his country but his priority is humanity; humanity without border. I will say what I want to say, when I want to say it, and how I want to say it, but I will never lie. I will also listen; I promise.

Guantanamo "trials": Lack of "courtroom space" reason for not allowing Amnesty in

Amnesty barred from Guantanamo trials
The US defence department, in a written response to the organisations published today, refused to allow them to send representatives, citing the lack of courtroom space and other logistical problems. Journalists and the International Committee of the Red Cross will be able to attend.
Lesley Warner, a spokeswoman for Amnesty International, said yesterday: "The US regularly criticises other governments for failing to accommodate trial monitors."

"Lack of courtroom space and logistical problems". I thought Pentagon officials would be smarter than that not to come up with such ridiculous excuses.
