[OccupyCU] [sf-core] Another Guantánamo prisoner death highlights Democrats' hypocrisy

[Brook Celeste Lillard]

I kind of hate to do this because I want to stay connected but I just can't
take the ever-growing email commentary flood anymore. It is kind of like
having neighbors who seem like they might be interesting but who yell all
day and night and I just don't want to live near them anymore.

I hope we can be in touch in more fruitful ways in the future, occupyCU.
I'm off to unsubscribe!
