PETA, the animal rights group known for splashing fake blood on fine furs, wants to set up an exhibition on the site of the Pentagon's prison camps at Guantanamo after President Barack Obama makes good on his promise to rid it of terrorism suspects.

PETA spokesman Michael Lyubinsky said the offer was serious. The exhibit, he noted, includes a panel that "juxtaposes a picture of a sealer clubbing a baby seal with a photo of a police officer clubbing a civil rights protester."


The idea would be to let visitors "explore ways . . . to promote nonviolent and non–exploitive relationships with all the living beings in this diverse world – regardless of race, religion, ability, gender or species.'"

I propose they make their pitch to the prisoners themselves using a one on one basis and get their thoughts on such an exhibit. Better yet send them to Afghanistan to make it directly to Al-Qaeda and Taliban leaders. Be interesting to hear what they think of such an exhibit.
