Documents the extraordinary rendition, torture, and disappearances in America's "War on Terror."

Road to Guantanamo is a first-hand account of three British citizens who were detained at Guantanamo Bay for two years without charges.
A compelling docudrama, the movie chronicles the journey of the trio from Britain to Pakistan followed by their capture across the border in Afghanistan to their eventual detention at Camp X-Ray and Camp Delta.
In early 2002, CCR filed a habeas corpus petition in Rasul v. Bush on behalf of Shafiq Rasul and Asif Iqbal of the Tipton Trio featured in this docudrama.
On April 20, 2004 after granting certiorari, the Supreme Court heard arguments and ruled in favor of the detainees. Even though our clients, Rasul and Iqbal had been repatriated while the case was pending, this was the first major blow against the Bush administration and its practices of illegally and inhumanely detaining innocent foreign nationals like the Trio.

Born out of the civil rights movement, the Center for Constitutional Rights has consistently fought the battles no one else would touch. From combatting segregation in the 60’s and 70’s to challenging today’s U.S. government torture and Guantanamo detentions, from defending the “Chicago 7” to guarding a woman's right to choose, CCR has spent 40 years fighting in the courts to advance social justice for all people.
Today CCR is working to preserve our constitution against the Bush administration's assaults on civil liberties, human rights, and the separation of powers.

The President needs to be reminded that he swore an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States-his administration has been systematically destroying the Constitution since he took office.
With your help, CCR will flood the Oval Office with copies of the Constitution this holiday season. If you sign this letter, CCR will send it along with a copy of the Constitution to the White House as a seasonal reminder that the Constitution needs to be upheld ; not destroyed.
We have already met our first goal of 25,000 signatures, let's try to send President Bush more than 50,000 copies of the Constitution by January 2008.

Over the last seven years the U.S. government has turned its back on many of the most basic principles of the U.S. Constitution. The clear mandates of one of democracy's greatest achievements have been hijacked and run through the shredder. The Constitution and the rights that it protects and proclaims must be rescued before it is too late. As part of a campaign to move beyond Guantanamo and rescue the Constitution, the Center for Constitutional Rights is circulating this petition.
Sign the petition to move beyond Guantanamo and rescue the Constitution.
This petition will be delivered to President Bush and Vice President Cheney on January 11, 2008 ; the sixth anniversary of the first arrival of men at Guantanamo.

TO THE DEATH OF MY OWN FAMILY, by David L. Meth, is coming back to the city after a two week tour through four cities in India: Chennai, Bangalore, Pondicherry and Mumbai, where we had to turn away theater-goers and nearly had a riot. So we decided to do an unplanned, second performance. It was standing-room-only and standing ovations throughout the tour. Therefore, I would like to invite all to visit my web site where you can take a tour, see a slide show, and read comments from the Indian press, including Time Out Mumbai:
