DESCRIPTION:
WHO ARE THE SUSPECTS IN THE "WAR ON TERROR"?

James Yee, former U.S. Army Muslim Chaplain at Guantanamo Bay, will discuss his recently released book For God and Country: Faith and Patriotism Under Fire. Yee, one of the first Muslim Chaplains in the U.S. Army, was selected as the Muslim Chaplain at Guantanamo Bay, where the U.S. government is holding hundreds of detainees from Iraq and Afghanistan as unlawful combatants. After receiving numerous awards for his service there, Chaplain Yee was secretly arrested. Wrongfully accused of spying, and aiding the Taliban and Al Qaeda, Yee spent 76 days in solitary confinement and was threatened with the death penalty. In the end, all criminal charges were dropped.

As the U.S. government carries out its ?war on terror? in a pervasive climate of fear and paranoia, Yee?s story shows how none of us are free from being under suspicion, yet it is the government itself that has engaged in suspicious behavior. The event will take place at the Southern California Library, 6120 S. Vermont Avenue, Los Angeles, on Saturday, October 22, 2005, at 2 p.m. Admission is free. All are welcome. For more information, call 323-759-6063 or check the web at www.socallib.org.
