Dear Supporter,

Next week, the comedy "Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantánamo Bay" will start playing in theaters across the country. Detention at Guantánamo Bay is no joke. Hand flyers out wherever the movie plays and spread the truth about Guantánamo Bay.

Sami al Hajj, a Sudanese news cameraman, has been held in Guantánamo for over 5 years. He's been abused, intimidated and beaten. He has never been charged with a crime. Like all Guantánamo detainees, he cannot challenge his detention in a fair court.

Spread the truth: Guantánamo is no laughing matter. Hand flyers out wherever "Harold and Kumar" is playing.

Guantánamo has become a global symbol of injustice and abuse. And we're not the only ones saying it.
"If it were up to me I would close Guantánamo not tomorrow but this afternoon...Essentially, we have shaken the belief that the world had in America's justice system...and it's causing us far more damage than any good we get from it."
-Colin Powell, former U.S. Secretary of State

Join the call to shut it down. The U.S. government should charge detainees and give them fair trials or release them. With enough pressure from concerned citizens, we can get the U.S. back on track:

Fixed.

I like the idea of handing out the flyers, but I wouldn't make it out like it was a protest to the movie. It comes across that way as if they should make jokes about it. Humor is a great way to reach people, even about serious subjects.

Perhaps the film does point out that Git'mo is a bad place.
I haven't seen it so I can't comment.

This movie is pretty damn funny. So long as you aren't easily offended.
The best part is how retarded and foolish it makes the gov't agents look.

You don't get to see films that make fun of the gov't too much.
