Order of Business.
In 1776 the American declaration of independence was signed. It brought independence, freedom and republicanism, spreading light throughout the world. Two years ago, on 11 September 2001, a weapon of mass destruction was used in New York. That is the only way of referring to a plane loaded with aviation fuel which killed 3,000 people. The justifiable anger in America against terrorism has raged for two years. On this day, I ask that due process be accorded to prisoners in Guantanamo Bay. We, the great friends and consistent allies of America, now ask it to show due process to those people, some of whom have committed terrible acts.
