About the Project
The Guantanamobile Project is an attempt to both inform and collect public opinion. We believe it is vitally important to help the American public understand the legal, political and territorial issues surrounding the Guantanamo detentions. But we also feel it is necessary, at this historical moment, to survey, record and archive the national and international response to the administration's actions, the Supreme Court decision, and the continued role the "fortified American toehold" of Guantanamo continues to play in international conflicts. It is our feeling that, in effect, the Guantanamo situation represents the genie unleashed from the bottle. Even if the Bush administration eventually tries to minimize the presence of Guantanamo by rendering detainees elsewhere, the ripple effects of the administration's sweeping claims to extrajudicial authority have already extended across the United States and around the world.
The Guantanamobile Project has three primary components - a website which serves as an information and survey database and networking center; and a mobile "Guantanamobile" that will circulate information, perform field research, and hold nightly projection events; and an documentary about the practice of wartime detentions at Guantanamo Bay.
