According to the United States Department of Defense, there were over two hundred Afghan detainees in Guantanamo prior to May 15, 2006.[1] The Guantanamo Bay detention camp was opened on January 11, 2002. In the summer of 2004, following the United States Supreme Court's ruling in Rasul v. Bush, the Department of Defense stopped transferring men and boys to Guantanamo. On September 6, 2006 United States President George W. Bush announced the transfer of 14 high value detainees to Guantanamo, including several additional Afghans. Several additional Afghans have been transferred to the camp since then.[2]

These Hands
by: Jimmy DeanThese hands ain't the hands of a gentleman
These hands are calloused and old
These hands raised a family
And these hands raised a home
Now these hands raised to praise the Lord
These hands won the heart of my loved one
And with hers they were never never alone
If these hands do their task, then what more can one ask
For these fingers have worked to the bone
Now I'm tired and I'm old and I ain't got much gold
Maybe things ain't been all that I planned
But God above hear my plea, when it's time to judge me
Take a look at these hard working hands
Yes I'm tired and I'm old and I ain't got much gold
Maybe things ain't been all that I planned
But God above hear my plea, when it's time to judge me
Take a look at these hard working hands
