Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

McCain Calls for Fast Trials at Gitmo

HeadlineJun 20, 2005

Meanwhile, Arizona Republican Senator John McCain spoke out on Guantanamo as well on an appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press. Arguing that “even Adolf Eichmann got a trial,'’ McCain called on the Bush administration to create a system of fast and fair trials for those imprisoned there. He said that the detainees “deserve to have some adjudication of their cases,” despite what McCain called a fear that, if you release them, they'll go back and fight against the US. McCain said, “Balance that against what it’s doing to our reputation throughout the world and whether it’s enhancing recruiting for people to join al-Qaeda and do bad things to the United States of America.’’
