Guantánamo Has Backfired Dreadfully關塔那摩已適得其反dreadfully
By通過 George Monbiot 喬治monbiot | When we learned last week that Abdallah Salih al-Ajmi had blown himself up in Mosul in northern Iraq, the US government presented this as a vindication of its policies. |當我們據悉，上週，阿卜杜拉成為伊拉克- ajmi了吹自己在摩蘇爾在伊拉克北部，美國政府提出這個作為一個平反它的政策。 Al-Ajmi was a former inmate of the detention camp at Guantánamo Bay.鋁- ajmi是前囚犯的拘留營在關塔那摩灣。 The Pentagon says his attack on Iraqi soldiers shows both that it was right to have detained him and that it is dangerous ever to release the camp’s prisoners.五角大樓說，他的攻擊，伊拉克士兵都表明，這是有權拘留了他，並且是危險的以往任何時候都釋放營的囚犯。 On the contrary, it shows how dangerous it was to put them there in the first place.與此相反，它表明多麼的危險，這是對他們有擺在首位。
Al-Ajmi, according to the Pentagon, was one of at least 30 former Guantánamo detainees who have “taken part in anti-coalition militant activities after leaving US detention”.鋁- ajmi ，根據五角大樓，其中，至少有三十名前關塔那摩被拘留者誰“的一部分，在採取反聯軍武裝活動後，離開美國拘留” 。 Given that the majority of the inmates appear to have been innocent of such crimes before they were detained, that’s one hell of a recidivism rate.鑑於大多數囚犯似乎已經無辜的這種罪行之前，他們被拘留，這是一個地獄，一個累犯率。 In reality, it turns out that “anti-coalition militant activities” include talking to the media about their captivity.在現實中，原來“反聯軍武裝活動” ，包括交談，媒體關於他們的獲釋。 The Pentagon lists the Tipton Three in its catalogue of recidivists, on the grounds that they collaborated with Michael Winterbottom’s film The Road to Guantánamo.五角大樓列出提普登三在其目錄累犯，理由是他們與邁克爾溫特波頓的電影之路到關塔那摩。 But it also names seven former prisoners, aside from al-Ajmi, who have fought with the Taliban or Chechen rebels, kidnapped foreigners or planted bombs after their release.但它也有7名前囚犯，除了由Al - ajmi ，誰爭取與塔利班或車臣叛軍，被綁架的外國人或種植炸彈後，將他們釋放。 One of two conclusions can be drawn from this evidence, and neither reflects well on the US government.其中兩個結論可以得出這方面的證據，既不反映，以及對美國政府。
The first is that, as the Pentagon claims, these men “successfully lied to US officials, sometimes for over three years”.第一是，由於五角大樓聲稱，這些人“成功地欺騙美國官員，有時甚至超過3年” 。 The US government’s intelligence gathering and questioning were ineffective, and people who would otherwise have been identified as terrorists or resistance fighters were allowed to walk free, despite years of intense and often brutal interrogation.美國政府的情報蒐集和質疑是無效的，和人民誰，否則已被確定為恐怖分子或抵抗戰士被允許自由步行，儘管多年的激烈和殘酷的，往往審問。 Should this be surprising?這是不足為奇的？ Without a presumption of innocence, without charges, representation, trials, or due process of any kind, there is no reliable means of determining whether or not a man is guilty.沒有一個假定為無罪的，沒有受到指控，代表性，審判，或正當程序的任何形式的，是沒有可靠的方法，決定是否或不是一個人是無罪。 The abuses at Guantánamo not only deny justice to the inmates, they also deny justice to the world.濫用在關塔那摩不僅否認司法囚犯，他們也否認正義向世界。
Al-Ajmi, the authorities say, initially confessed in the prison camp to deserting the Kuwaiti army to join the jihad in Afghanistan.鋁- ajmi ，當局說，初步交代了在監獄中營開小差科威特軍隊加入聖戰組織在阿富汗。 He admitted that he fought with Taliban forces against the Northern Alliance.他承認，他打了與塔利班部隊對北方聯盟。 He later retracted this confession, which had been made “under pressure and threats”.他後來收回了這一供述，其中已取得“的壓力下和威脅” 。 When the Americans released him from Guantánamo, they handed him over to the Kuwaiti government for trial, but without the admissible evidence required to convict him.當美國人釋放了他從關塔那摩，他們轉交他給科威特政府的審判，但沒有受理所需的證據定罪的他。 Among his defences was that neither he nor his interrogators had signed his supposed testimony.他的辯護是，既不是他和他的審訊已簽署了他的假定的證詞。 The Kuwaiti courts, without reliable evidence to the contrary, found him innocent.科威特法院，沒有可靠的證據，相反，發現他的無辜。
All evidence obtained in Guantánamo, and in the CIA’s other detention centres and secret prisons, is by definition unreliable, because it is extracted with the help of coercion and torture.所有取得的證據在關塔那摩，並在美國中央情報局的其他拘留中心和設立秘密監獄，是由的定義是不可靠的，因為它是提取的幫助脅迫和酷刑。 Torture is notorious for producing false confessions, as people will say anything to make it stop.酷刑是惡名昭彰的製作虛假的供述，作為人會說什麼，使其停止。 Both official accounts and the testimonies of former detainees show that a wide range of coercive techniques - devised or approved at the highest levels in Washington - have been used to make inmates tell the questioners what they want to hear.官方賬戶和證詞前被拘留者表明，範圍廣泛的脅迫性技巧-制定或批准的在最高級別在華盛頓-已被用來使犯人告訴qu estioners什麼，他們想聽到的。
In his book Torture Team, Philippe Sands describes the treatment of Mohammed al-Qahtani, held in Guantánamo and described by the authorities (like half a dozen other suspects) as “the 20th hijacker”.在他的書中酷刑隊，菲利普金沙描述治療穆罕默德-卡赫塔尼，在關塔那摩舉行，並形容有關當局（如二分之一其他十幾名犯罪嫌疑人）為“ 20劫機犯” 。 By the time his interrogators started using “enhanced techniques” to extract information from him, al-Qahtani had been kept in isolation for three months in a cell permanently flooded with light.由時間，他的審訊開始使用“增強技術” ，以提取信息，從他，鋁-卡赫塔尼一直被隔離在3個月在一個牢房永久淹沒輕。 An official memo shows that he “was talking to nonexistent people, reporting hearing voices, [and] crouching in a corner of the cell covered with a sheet for hours on end”.正式的備忘錄表明，他“是說以不存在的人，報告聽證會的聲音， [和]臥虎藏龍在一個角落的細胞所涵蓋的一個表小時就結束” 。 He was abused, exposed to extreme cold and deprived of sleep for a further 54 days of torture and questioning.他被濫用，暴露於極端寒冷和被剝奪睡眠，為進一步54天的酷刑和質疑。 What useful testimony could be extracted from a man in this state?什麼有用的證詞可摘自一名男子在此狀態？
The other possibility is that the men who became involved in armed conflict after their release had not in fact been involved in any prior fighting, but were radicalised by their detention.另一種可能性是，男人誰成為捲入武裝衝突的獲釋後並沒有在實際上已涉及的任何先前的戰鬥，但激進由他們的拘留。 In the video he made before blowing himself up, al-Ajmi maintained that he was motivated by his ill-treatment in Guantánamo.在錄像帶中，他之前所作的吹自己，鋁- ajmi堅持認為，他是出於他的不當待遇在關塔那摩。 “Twelve thousand kilometres away from Mecca, I realised the reality of the Americans and what those infidels want,” he said. “ 12000公里以外的從麥加，我意識到現實的美國人和那些異教徒想， ”他說。 He claimed he was beaten, drugged and “used for experiments” and that “the Americans delighted in insulting our prayer and Islam and they insulted the Qur’an and threw it in dirty places.” Al-Ajmi’s lawyer revealed that his arm had been broken by guards at the camp, who beat him up to stop him from praying.他聲稱，他遭到毆打，麻醉和“用於實驗”和“美國人高興在侮辱我們的祈禱和伊斯蘭教和他們的侮辱古蘭經，並把它在骯髒的地方。 ”基地- ajmi的律師透露，他的手臂已被打破，由警衛營，誰打他最多阻止他祈禱。
The accounts of people released from Guantánamo describe treatment that would radicalise almost anyone.帳目的人釋放關塔那摩描述的待遇，將radicalise幾乎任何人。 In his book Five Years of My Life, published a fortnight ago, Murat Kurnaz maintains that one of the guards greeted him on his arrival with these words.在他的著作五年我的生活，出版了一兩星期前，穆拉特kurnaz堅持認為，其中一個警衛迎接他的到來對他的這些話。 “Do you know what the Germans did to the Jews? “你知不知道是什麼，德國人沒有向猶太人？ That’s exactly what we’re going to do with you.” There were certain similarities.這正是我們要做的與你“有某些相似之處。 “I knew a man from Morocco,” Kurnaz writes, “who used to be a ship captain. “我知道，一名男子從摩洛哥， ” kurnaz寫道， “誰使用的是一個船的船長。 He couldn’t move one of his little fingers because of frostbite.他無法提出他的一個小手指，因為凍傷。 The rest of his fingers were all right.其餘的手指被所有權利。 They told him they would amputate the little finger.他們告訴他，他們會amputate小指。 They brought him to the doctor, and when he came back, he had no fingers left.他們帶來了他的醫生，當他回來，他沒有手指離開。 They had amputated everything but his thumbs.” The young man - scarcely more than a boy - in the cage next to Kurnaz’s had just had his legs amputated by American doctors after getting frostbite in a coalition prison in Afghanistan.他們已被截肢的一切，但他豎起大拇指。 “青年男子-幾乎多的男孩-在籠子旁邊的k u rnaz的剛剛過他的雙腿被截肢，由美國醫生後，凍傷，在一個聯盟在阿富汗監獄。 The stumps were still bleeding and covered in pus.該樹樁仍在出血及所涵蓋的膿。 He received no further treatment or new dressings.他沒有收到任何進一步的治療或新的敷料。 Every time he tried to hoist himself up to sit on his pot by clinging to the wire, a guard would come and hit his hands with a billy-club.每一次他試圖提升自己坐在他的一鍋由死抱著向鐵絲網，看守會來擊中他的手與比利-俱樂部。 Like every other prisoner, he was routinely beaten by the camp’s Immediate Reaction Force, and taken away to interrogation cells to be beaten up some more.像每一個其他的囚犯，他經常毆打營的立即反應部隊，並帶走訊問細胞被毆打了一些更多。
Fathers were clubbed in front of their sons, sons in front of their fathers.父親棒狀，在前面他們的兒子，兒子在前面，他們的父親。 The prisoners were repeatedly forced into stress positions, deprived of sleep and threatened with execution.囚犯被迫一再強調的立場，他被剝奪睡眠，並威脅執行。 As a senior official at the US Defense Intelligence Agency says, “maybe the guy who goes into Guantánamo was a farmer who got swept along and did very little.作為一位高級官員在美國國防情報局說， “也許那個誰進入關塔那摩是一個農民誰得到席捲沿，並非常少。 He’s going to come out a fully fledged jihadist.”他要出來，一個完全成熟的聖戰“ 。
In reading the histories of Guantánamo, and of the kidnappings, extrajudicial detention and torture the US government (helped by the United Kingdom) has pursued around the world, two things become clear.在讀的歷史關塔那摩，以及綁架，法外處決，拘留和酷刑，美國政府（幫助聯合王國）一直奉行世界各地，兩件事成為明確的。 The first is that these practices do not supplement effective investigation and prosecution; they replace them.首先是，這些做法不補充，有效的調查和起訴，他們將取代它們。 Instead of a process which generates evidence, assesses it and uses it to prosecute, the US has deployed a process that generates nonsense and is incapable of separating the guilty from the innocent.而不是一個過程產生的證據，評估它並使用它進行起訴，美國已部署的一個過程產生的胡言亂語，是無法分開的承認，從無辜的。 The second is that far from protecting innocent lives, this process is likely to deliver further atrocities.二是到目前為止，從保護無辜者的生命，這個過程可能提供進一步的暴行。 Even if you put the ethics of such treatment to one side, it is surely evident that it makes the world more dangerous.即使你把道德這種治療的一方，這是肯定可見，它使世界變得更加危險。
