Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!: ''Detainees at ... Guantanamo Bay launched a hunger strike today marking the prison's 10th anniversary, inspired in part by U.S. activists who have called for a national day of action.... And they're always very moved by the fact that Americans stand in solidarity with what they're going through and what their families are experiencing.''

Live From Guantanamo

J. Wells Dixon, The Center for Constitutional Rights: ''Today marks ten years since the opening of the prison at Guantanamo Bay.... There is no visible recognition of today s anniversary, except an oblique reference in the local paper to marking 'ten years of progress.' Progress toward what? Perfection of lawlessness? Indifference to human suffering? ... Guantanamo Bay has been open for ten years too long. It is illegal and its continued existence demeans us. It must be closed.''
