Included in the 62 arrestees were 55 people bearing nametags with names of those ¡°cleared for release¡± but still held at Gitmo-and five more nametags for those who have died at Guantanamo Bay.
Witness against Torture began the day with a rally at the Capitol Reflecting Pool, then marched in orange jump suits and black hoods(just like the ones in Gitmo) up to the White House, where ¡°detainees¡± became detainees for real by advancing onto the White House sidewalk and refusing to move until arrested.
