US lawmaker accuses Bush of secrecy over Iraq deal美國國會議員指責布什在伊拉克保密協議 Friday, November 21st, 2008 星期五, 2008年11月21號
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The US government is refusing to make public the security pact it has signed with Iraq, even though it has already been published in full in an Iraqi newspaper, a congressional hearing was told Wednesday. (華盛頓訊) -美國政府拒絕公開安全協議,它已與伊拉克簽署的,儘管它已經出版的全部在伊拉克報紙,國會聽證會上獲悉星期三。 Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice were holding a closed briefing for US House members on the pact signed Monday that sets a 2011 deadline for US troops to withdraw from Iraq.美國國防部長羅伯特蓋茨和國務卿賴斯舉行了一個封閉的簡報,美國眾議院成員對協議簽署日確定了2011年的最後期限為美國軍隊撤出伊拉克。 Rep. Bill Delahunt, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on International Organizations and Human Rights, before the closed briefing called it “insulting and an after-thought,” after the Bush administration earlier rebuffed calls for Congress to be consulted during year-long negotiations on the agreement.眾議員比爾德拉亨特主席,外交部長小組委員會國際組織和人權,在公開通報它所謂的“侮辱和後認為, ”之後,布什政府先前拒絕了要求國會進行協商期間長達一年的談判關於協議。 The administration has said it will not seek congressional approval for the deal.布什政府已經表示,它將不會尋求國會批准的協議。 It has been in a hurry to finalize the pact, which Iraqi lawmakers still must approve, before the UN mandate under which US troops operate expires Dec. 31.它一直急於完成雙方達成的協議,其中伊拉克國會議員仍然必須批准,在聯合國授權下運作美軍12月31日到期。 Delahunt, who has urged President George W. Bush to renew the UN mandate rather than sign a bilateral agreement with Iraq, held the eighth in a series of hearings on the Status of Forces Agreement.德拉亨特,誰也敦促美國總統布什重申聯合國的授權,而不是簽署一項雙邊協議,伊拉克舉行的第八次中了一系列聽證會的部隊地位協定。 He said the Bush administration had turned down an invitation to attend the open hearing, saying it was a “sensitive time.” Experts testifying before his subcommittee were forced to rely on an unofficial English translation of the security deal.他說,布什政府已經拒絕了邀請,出席公開聽證會,說這是一個“敏感的時刻。 ”專家作證他的小組委員會不得不依靠一個非官方的英文譯本的安全協議。 “Even now the National Security Council has requested that we do not show this document to our witnesses or release it to the public. “即使是現在的國家安全委員會已要求我們不要顯示這個文件對我們的證人或發布給公眾。 Now that’s incredible — meantime the Iraqi government has posted this document on its media website,” Delahunt, a Massachusetts Democrat, said.現在,令人難以置信-與此同時,伊拉克政府公佈這一文件在其新聞網站, “德拉亨特,一個馬薩諸塞州民主黨說。 He was referring to the Iraqi government-funded al-Sabah newspaper, whose Arabic version of the deal is also the source of the only known unofficial English translation, by the anti-war American Friends Service Committee.他指的是伊拉克政府資助的薩巴赫報紙,其阿拉伯文版的處理也是源目前唯一已知的非官方英文譯本,由反戰美國朋友服務委員會。 “There is something bizarre about the text being disseminated to the Iraqi people and we are being told we cannot distribute the English-language version of the agreement,” said Rep. Howard Berman, a California Democrat who chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee. “有什麼奇怪的文本散發給伊拉克人民和我們被告知我們不能發行英文版的協議說, ”議員霍華德伯曼,加利福尼亞州民主黨誰擔任眾議院外交委員會。 JOINT MILITARY CENTER聯合軍事中心 According to the unofficial version, the United States and Iraq are to set up a joint committee to oversee and coordinate all offensive US military operations.據非官方的版本,美國和伊拉克成立一個聯合委員會,以監督和協調所有進攻美國的軍事行動。 “All such military operations that are carried out pursuant to this agreement shall be conducted with the agreement of the government of Iraq. “所有這些軍事行動進行了根據該協定應徵得其同意,伊拉克政府。 Such operations shall be fully coordinated with Iraqi authorities,” the translated document says.這種行動應充分協調與伊拉克當局, “翻譯的文件說。 Oona Hathaway, a law professor at the University of California, Berkeley, said it appeared the agreement would give the joint committee operational control over US military operations. Oona哈撒韋,法學教授在加州大學伯克利分校的說,看來該協議將使聯合委員會的業務控制美國的軍事行動。 If so, that would be “unprecedented and extremely unusual,” she said.如果是這樣的話,這將是“前所未有的,極不尋常, ”她說。 “The president can enter into agreements on his own but this agreement goes far beyond the president’s independent constitutional powers,” Hathaway said. “總統可以進入協定對自己的這一協議,但遠遠超出了總統的獨立的憲法權力, ”哈撒韋說。 She said challenging the legality of the agreement was compounded by the vagueness of much of its wording.她說,具有挑戰性的合法性協議是複雜的含糊其大部分的措辭。 She said standard SOFAs are several hundred pages, but the Iraqi one was a little over 20 pages.她說,標準的部隊地位協定有幾百個網頁,但伊拉克是一個多一點的20頁。 On the controversial issue of Iraqi criminal jurisdiction over US soldiers, the unofficial English version says Iraq will have that right “when such crimes are committed outside agreed facilities and outside duty status.” It does not define “duty status.”對有爭議的問題,伊拉克刑事管轄權美軍士兵,非官方的英文版本說,伊拉克將這一權利“時,這類罪行的境外商定設施和外部責任的地位。 ”它不界定“工作地點的地位。 ” But any US service members arrested or detained by Iraqi forces will be kept in US custody pending trial, it says.但是,任何美國軍人被逮捕或拘留的伊拉克部隊將繼續處於美軍的關押候審,它說。 In the future, US forces will not be able to arrest Iraqis without Iraqi approval, and those detained must be handed over to Iraqi authorities within 24 hours, requirements that could potentially complicate military operations, Michael Matheson, a former State Department legal adviser told the hearing.今後,美軍將無法被逮捕的伊拉克人沒有伊拉克批准,被拘留者必須移交給伊拉克當局在24小時內,要求有可能複雜的軍事行動,邁克爾臣,前美國國務院法律顧問告訴聽證會。 (Editing by Vicki Allen) (編輯的維基阿倫) Have Your Say: US lawmaker accuses Bush of secrecy over Iraq deal 你說:美國國會議員指責布什在伊拉克保密協議 Please read our請仔細閱讀我們的 posting guidelines before posting張貼在發布前的指導方針 . 。 Alternatively或者 you can discuss this report here你可以討論這份報告在這裡 . 。 Related News 相關新聞
