Vanessa defends terrorists. Outside the borders of Guantanamo base, there is a country named Cuba & Castro has taken away every single civil & human right for half a century, the cruelest tyranny in this hemisphere, 50 long years that Cubans have been deprived of democratic elections, right of free speech, association, etc. A country where prostitution rules, fear, executions; more than 2 million Cubans have left their beautiful island because of this tyrant. Redgrave approves the tyrant.

Abdullah Al-Ajmi was being held at Guantanamo. After he was released he drove an armored truck with an estimated 10,000 pounds of explosives into a compound and killed 13 Iraqis and seriously wounded 42 others. I wonder if the relatives of these 55 victims feel if Al-Ajmi should have been released. If (or should I say when) other detainees who are released commit similar acts everyone who clapped at this show and supports this cause will bear some of the responsibility. How proud you will be!
