Gitmo關閉不容易認為布什

勉強由採取對恐怖主義嫌疑犯的監管的其他國家扣壓在關塔那摩海灣延遲華盛頓的能力關閉廣泛被批評的囚犯集中營，美國喬治・ W布什總統昨晚宣稱。」我說它應該是國家的目標關閉關塔那摩。 我也講清楚的一部分的延遲是有些國家勉強收回某些人民舉行那裡」，布什說。

「這是相當陡峭的命令。 A lot of people don’t want killers in their midst, and a lot of these people are killers. The sooner that tribunals could start for inmates of the camp the better it is. It’s not as easy a subject as some may think on the surface,” he said.

The US officials did not specify which countries were reluctant to accept prisoners but in the past the US has transferred detainees to countries including Britain,Australia, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iran, Pakistan and others.

Washington has faced fierce criticism for the detention without charge of suspected Al Qaeda and Taliban members at the Guantanamo prison.

While members of the Bush administration have repeatedly said they would like to close the facility, they also say it is needed in the US-declared war on terrorism.

The US holds 355 detainees at Guantanamo, which was set up to handle prisoners captured after the September 11 attacks in 2001. Of those, the Pentagon says 80 are eligible for release or transfer to another country.

Britain asked the US on Tuesday to release five detainees from Guantanamo who were legal residents of Britain before their detention, although not British nationals.

Pentagon spokesman said the US government was still reviewing the request and no decision had been made.
