We believe in a “trickle down” Justice, and if the world’s attention is focused on Montana, we believe the justice abuses that have been documented in our state will only improve with the backing of the US Justice Department, world viewers, and the US Court System of Justice. Hardin, in Bighorn County Montana is a mere 46 miles to the nearest US Court in Billings, MT.
We applaud the Obama Administration for bringing justice to the GITMO detainees in Montana; it is the safest location for both US residents, and detainees.
US Senator Max Baucus does not wholeheartedly speak for the constituents of this state, he is a national senator similar to John McCain of Arizona. We need industry, we need justice. Bring the prisoners to Hardin, MT. These prisoners are political, not dangerous.
In the words of Greg Smith, Two Rivers Authority, “it is our patriotic duty to house these detainees…” and to bring them true justice.
We agree. Some very suspicious events transpired regarding this event, and the world media may not have “connected the dots”, a problem our government had prior to September, 11, 2001.
The Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court spoke on September 13, 2007 at the University of Montana Law School.
Two days later, the Montana Bar Association, (clearly not interested in justice in Montana) issued a release two days later urging President Bush to release the GITMO detainees. President Obama consulted with the then Crow Agency Head during his campaign, and at the time of his death some months ago, the entire Montana Congressional Delegation from Washington, DC attended his funeral.
This arrangement in Hardin was likely set up nearly two years ago. For a state that was ranked 48th in the nation for Justice in September 2007 as reported by National Public Radio, we seek the detainees to shed justice on sovereign US soil known as Montana. Bringing the GITMO detainees to our state will bring a world audience, and world class justice, something these detainees, and Montana residents deserve.
These detainees are not the kind that would require the maximum security. From the publication My Guantanamo Diary it indicates that most of these detainees were merely seeking business in Pakistan to be picked up by the Pakistani Army, only to be sold to the US Military as “suspects”.
We reject the idea that the Billings Courthouse would have to be reconstructed, nor the jail inappropriate for housing these “suspects”. Billings, MT is a short flight from Denver, Colorado and would be central to the lawyers who may defend these suspects.
Easy access for the defense will facilitate justice. Since the trickle-down stimulus does not seem to be working in the nation, it is time to try direct investment, and direct due process in Montana. Our web -sites as listed as the informational section of this press release have caused more than 30,000 Americans to reject Montana as a tourism or investment due to its justice issue. Our intention was to create justice in Montana, not hinder commerce.
A way for the Obama Administration to directly inject a stimulus into our economy is to provide jobs in Hardin, and indirectly provide justice with the attention the court proceedings would bring. Members of our group have also been picked up on false warrants, had property seized without warrant, and been the victim of prosecutorial and equal protection violations.
Our Highway Patrol does not issue test scores for recruits, and engaged in a criminal scheme with our county attorney, a local paper (whose parent company also owns the Billings Gazette) to prosecute victims of crime. Talking points do not cure injustice; indictments do. We hope to learn from the detainees, and honor their courage.
We want justice to be served for them, and us; two groups who have been served injustice. We read in My Guantanamo Diary how there is no justice, there are no rights, and there is no way to change the situation. We have been dealt the same, without the physical torture; however psychological torture, coupled with law enforcement abuses can break any person. Secretary of the Interior Salazar made a speech in Helena, MT yesterday about the $3M injection into our park system, and mentioning how tourism is a major source of funds for Montana.
If a river of injustice flows through it, nobody will come, Mr. Salazar. We have been a voice in the wilderness, one which have brought top Justice officials from the US and Canada. If US Senator Max Baucus (D-MT) is shielding constitutional criminals in Montana, no number of speeches will change due process issues.
This is not about professional adjustment; this is about crimes against the US constitution where the perpetrators need to be incarcerated, and those detainees and US citizens who reside in Montana given injustice a breath of fresh air.
Let the Hardin prison set us free. It all begins when the World tunes into Montana, where justice will redirect us from the forays our Nation thought was the best course.
President Obama describes this time as when we “…lost our moral compass.” A similar time was the Battle of Little Big Horn near Hardin. Let’s correct those problems and raise America up for the world to see our shining light. It all starts in Hardin, Montana. Let’s bring a new justice there: fixing the problems of Guantanamo Bay Cuba for the world to see our courage and integrity.
