Mark Engler, Dissent Magazine: ''Wednesday was the tenth anniversary of the first transfer of prisoners to Guantanamo Bay as part of the 'War on Terror.' To mark the date, a coalition of human rights groups, including Witness Against Torture, Code Pink, Amnesty International, and the National Religious Campaign Against Torture, held a protest in Washington, DC. The solemn procession of orange-clad demonstrators stretched for blocks, making the event the largest protest on the issue since the start of the Obama administration.''

Close the Guantanamo Gulag

Marjorie Cohn, Truthout: ''In a recent op-ed in The New York Times, Harvard lecturer Jonathan M. Hansen wrote, 'It is past time to return this imperialist enclave to Cuba.' Obama should heed Hansen s words. For the abiding presence of the Guantanamo gulag is not simply illegal and immoral. It also continues to be a symbol of US hypocrisy and makes us a target for more terrorist attacks.''

UN rights chief urges US close Guantanamo

''It is 10 years since the US government opened the prison at Guantanamo, and now three years since January 22, 2009, when the president ordered its closure within 12 months,'' the High Commissioner for Human Rights said. ''Yet the facility continues to exist and individuals remain arbitrarily detained indefinitely in clear breach of international law,'' she said in a statement.

Lesson From New Hampshire

J.A. Myerson, Truthout: ''Hanging out in New Hampshire for the run-up to the primary is a powerful education in how undemocratic the American political system is. Corporate-funded journalists run around, jockeying for access to corporate-funded candidates, who, in the case of this Republican field, spent roughly $53 million campaigning in two states, both of which are over 90 percent white, where about 350,000 people voted.''

The 4- to 14-Year Old Window: Turning Children Into Evangelists in Public Schools

Katherine Stewart, Truthout and PublicAffairs: ''When an after-school 'Bible study' program called the Good News Club showed up at the Santa Barbara public school where journalist Katherine Stewart sent her children, she decided to take a closer look at its sponsoring organization, the Child Evangelism Fellowship, and other groups like it. Stewart was surprised to learn that there is more religion in public education today than there has been in the past 100 years.''

Blowing the Whistle on Big Pharma

Mark Karlin, Truthout: ''An untold number of patients using the drug in question (marketed under the names Epogen, Aranesp and Procrit) died as a result of its side effects.... Regulators repeatedly asked the two companies to perform safety trials, but the firms never quite got around to it... Independent research showed that the drug not only killed people, it multiplied tumor cells.... If our government regulators had had the authority to penalize these companies, some loved ones might still be alive today.''
