This is John McDonnell, the Labour MP for Hayes and Harlington, speaking to a reporter on April 24, 2013, as campaigners calling for the release from Guantanamo of Shaker Aamer, the last British resident in the prison, held a demonstration outside Parliament following a Parliamentary debate in Westminster Hall from 9.30 to 11 am. Shaker, who has a British wife and four British children, is one of 86 prisoners cleared for release by an inter-agency task force established by President Obama in 2009 but still held. John has long been an opponent of Guantanamo, and he turned up to show his support for the campaigners, delivering a powerful speech in which he thanked everyone, and pointed out that without them -- us -- the Parliamentary debate would not have taken place.
The debate followed a successful e-petition, calling on the British government to "undertake urgent new initiatives to achieve the immediate transfer of Shaker Aamer to the UK from continuing indefinite detention in Guantanamo Bay," which secured over 100,000 signatures, making it eligible for debate.
The debate was introduced by Jane Ellison, the Conservative MP for Battersea, Shaker's home constituency, where his wife and family live (who also fund time to come over and talk to campaigners), and it was supported by other MPs including Caroline Lucas (Green, Brighton Pavilion), the Labour MPs John McDonnell, Jeremy Corbyn, Kerry McCarthy, Jim Cunningham, Stephen Timms, John Woodcock, Russell Brown, Yasmin Qureshi, Gavin Shukur, Andy Slaughter and Anas Sarwar, the Conservative MP Mike Freer, and Mark Durkan of the SDLP and the Independent MP Eric Joyce.
The government -- via Alistair Burt, the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs -- responded with the usual claim that "It is the long-standing policy of the Government that we should seek the release and return of those UK nationals and former legal residents who have been held at Guantanamo Bay and, in so doing, assist the US Administration in their efforts to close the detention facility." However, Mr. Burt also noted that "any decision regarding Mr Aamer’s release ultimately remains in the hands of the United States Government."
Campaigners -- myself included -- will continue to work to exert pressure on the British and American governments to secure Shaker Aamer's release.

There's a reason reporters carry reporter-style notebooks - flipping the cover up makes them easier to use to take notes than other notebooks. I'm a big fan of these Moleskine reporters - they're classy and fit nicely in a back pocket.
Perfect for: stocking stuffers, anyone who needs to remember something on the go.

U.P. Breaking News: K. I. Sawyer Latest KC-135 Emergency Landing/Raising Safety Concerns
The following exclusive information was not reported yet by Upper Peninsula TV stations and other media.
Many safety questions remain and a military plane is officially grounded after an emergency in the skies over Marquette County, Michigan on Tues. July 8, 2014
The emergency landing of a KC-135 refueling tanker is the latest in a series of similar hydraulic incidents involving the aging fleet of Milwaukee's 128th Air Refueling Wing, Upper Peninsula Breaking News has learned.
Veteran Investigative Reporter Greg Peterson has the story:
upperpeninsulabreakingnews.wordpress.com/2014/07/09/u-p-b...
-----
Essentially a flying gas station – this Air National Guard KC-135 is grounded – following an emergency that has happened at least 5 times in the past two years to KC 135 refueling tankers from the 128th Air Refueling Wing in Milwaukee.
That's right – at least 5 times in the past two years – a KC-135 from the 128th has developed hydraulic problems resulting in emergency landings at airports around the Midwest.
The tankers are all about 50 years old.
In fact in June 2013, a reporter for Milwaukee Television station WISN TV-12 investigated a rash of KC-135 emergency landings after hydraulic warning.
Upper Peninsula Breaking News called the 128th's public affairs office to verify this important safety problem.
With overcast skies, the three-member crew of this KC-135 declared a hydraulic emergency:
Chief Don Hutchens, Forsyth Township Volunteer Fire Department:
Emergency officials from across Marquette County responded to the plane's call for help – fearing it might crash while landing – which would have been catastrophic.
The KC -135 was among several planes from the 128th Refueling Wing that have been practicing touch and goes on K.I. Sawyer's long runways.
Now the Marquette County Airport, the once vibrant K.I. Sawyer Air Force Base was a Strategic Air Command base – constantly on alert - with bomber crews ready to fly in moments.
This reporter has had the pleasure of riding on two KC-135 Refueling Tankers – as show in this photo when I worked at WLUC TV-6 in Marquette.
We refueled F-16 Jets over Lake Huron.
Then this reporter became one of only a handful of civilians to ride aboard a B-52 Bomber – this while I did features stories for the Mining Journal newspaper.
I was given this official coin of the Sawyer bomber wing and a patch – after as 12-hour flight that included Fourth of July Parades and an airshow in Grand Rapids.
This reporter hopes the officials at Milwaukee's 128th Air Refueling Wing get to the bottom of this hydraulic issues before there is a tragedy – as the large number of emergencies on this flying gas station is scary to all involved.

Military plane makes emergency landing in Indiana
www.wisn.com/news/south-east-wisconsin/milwaukee/Military...
A plane from Milwaukee's 128th Air Refueling Wing of the Wisconsin Air National Guard is grounded and undergoing repairs after an in-flight emergency Tuesday.
For the fourth time in two months a KC-135 from Milwaukee makes an emergency landing, this time in Indiana.
The flight crew lost control of the hydraulic system and made an emergency landing in Indiana.
It's the fourth in-flight emergency in recent weeks involving four KC-135 refueling tankers.
Each of the planes is about 50 years old, which has some wondering if the aging aircraft are as safe as they should be.
