Law Societies call for Guantanamo closure

The Law Societies of England & Wales, Scotland and 31 other bar associations have signed a joint letter to president Bush calling for the immediate closure of the Guantanamo Bay prison camp. The letter condemns Bush's "profound disrespect for the rule of law," which it says "has become an inconvenient afterthought." Law Society president Andrew Holroyd said: "Events in Guantanamo are of serious concern to everyone who supports the international rule of law."
