contributions in any language are welcome

Free Leonard Peltier

Free Leonard Peltier
The government under pretext of security and progress, liberated us from our land, resources, culture, dignity and future. They violated every treaty they ever made with us. I use the word “liberated” loosely and sarcastically, in the same vein that I view the use of the words “collateral damage” when they kill innocent men, women and children. They describe people defending their homelands as terrorists, savages and hostiles . . . My words reach out to the non-Indian: Look now before it is too late—see what is being done to others in your name and see what destruction you sanction when you say nothing. --Leonard Peltier, Annual Message January 2004 (Leonard Peltier is now serving 31st year as an internationally recognized Political Prisoner of the United States Government)

Miss Universe Visits Guantanamo: 'A Loooot Of Fun!'



Miss Universe Visits Guantanamo: 'A Loooot Of Fun!'


The current 'Miss Universe' Dayana Mendoza (formerly Miss Venezuela) and 'Miss America' Crystal Stewart visited US troops stationed in Guantanamo Bay on March 20th, the New York Times reports. Here's Mendoza's account of the visit from her pageant blog last Friday. She says the trip "was a loooot of fun!"

This week, Guantánamo!!! It was an incredible experience...All the guys from the Army were amazing with us. We visited the Detainees camps and we saw the jails, where they shower, how the recreate themselves with movies, classes of art, books. It was very interesting. We took a ride with the Marines around the land to see the division of Gitmo and Cuba while they were informed us with a little bit of history.


The water in Guantánamo Bay is soooo beautiful! It was unbelievable, we were able to enjoy it for at least an hour. We went to the glass beach, and realized the name of it comes from the little pieces of broken glass from hundred of years ago. It is pretty to see all the colors shining with the sun. That day we met a beautiful lady named Rebeca who does wonders with the glasses from the beach. She creates jewelry with it and of course I bought a necklace from her that will remind me of Guantánamo Bay :)

I didn't want to leave, it was such a relaxing place, so calm and beautiful.

Sign-Up.

OpEdNews is only as good as the readers,
writers, editors, link submitters and volunteers who all contribute to making it
what it is-- a community.


Diary Submissions:

Sometimes called "blogs", diaries come in two flavors: a Personal
Diary and a Public Diary." What's the difference?" An entry which is a
Public Diary entry appears to the public, usually from the home page and from
the "inside" pages categorized by Subjects and Local Area. A Personal
Diary entry only shows up on your personal "authors page" which
you are free to share with whomever you wish. All of the criteria for Article
Submissions (below) would be good to apply to Public Diaries. You can sign up
for submitting your Personal or Public Diaries below....


Article Submissions:

We love to see well written, creative, penetrating, insightful, humorous,
information, commentary, investigation, and reporting on OpEdNews. We welcome
your submission of articles, poetry, humor, artwork, editorial cartoons.

We accept original and previously published work you've done. We ask that you
let us know if you are giving us an exclusive for 24, 48 or 72 hours, so we can
submit it to other sites. Publishing it on your site or blog is fine and we
don't count that as affecting exclusivity. We do insist that you never publish
anything which you don't have written permission to publish. By publishing you
agree that you have secured any permissions necessary for publication and will
take responsibility for any costs incurred if OpEdNews is sued because you
copied copyrighted material without permission.

We are selective at OpEdNews and do not publish all the articles that are
submitted. You should read a number of the articles published on OpEdNews and
familiarize yourself with our website so you get a feel for what we publish.

Once you sign on as a member and submit your article, it will be placed in a
queue and evaluated by an editor, then, either published or rejected. You will
receive an automated letter either way. Sometimes you will receive a rejection
with comments on how to make the article more likely to be published, with
further editing.

We have two categories for articles (Op-Ed and News) and many inside page
categories. We may decide to publish your article to our front page, or it may
be published on one or several inside subject or local pages. That's why it is
important to include a number of subject categorizations. Articles scroll more
slowly off the category pages.

If you consistently submit articles of high quality and consistency, we may
elevate you from a member submitter to a trusted author submitter. We're looking
for just about perfect records, without problematic submissions that have to be
rejected. We usually don't want ads that attack other people, unless they are
politicians or corrupt officials. We Love criticism of the mainstream media and
media figures. (No Coulter or Malkin bashing articles. We'd rather ignore them.)

If your submission is accepted, we will publish it on our webpages and it may be
sent in our newsletter. We will respect whatever byline you choose to write
under, short of misrepresenting yourself as another person. We allow you to
retain reprint rights, but we retain the right to publish your articles in
collections in books or other websites.
Links
Submissions


If you find great news article, or op-ed column
or blog entry (with a permalink) we'd really appreciate it if you add a link on
OpEdNews to that article. We make it easy. You cut and paste the URL address in
one field, the title in another, and description in a third field. You can add
your comments to the comment field and can even come up with a title in the
title field. Finally, you categorize the article link with up to five subject
categories (More is better.) It usually takes under a minute to do a link. We do
NOT send notification of acceptance of links. You'll see them on the site if we
use them. Send in enough approved links, with minimal rejected links and you may
become eligible to be invited to become an editor.
