L'ex ministro degli Stati Uniti Colin Powell detto la domenica che la prigione militare alla baia de Guantanamo per i sospetti stranieri di terrorismo dovrebbe essere immediatamente chiusa ed i relativi interni spostata negli Stati Uniti.
Powell, che in un discorso 2003 al Consiglio di sicurezza di NU ha dimostrato il fondatezza della guerra contro Irak per le armi di possesso di distruzione totale che non sono state trovate mai, ad esempio che la prigione discutibile in Cuba si era trasformata in “in un problema principale„ per immagine degli Stati Uniti' all'estero ed aveva fatto più danno che buona.
“Guantanamo has become a major, major problem … in the way the world perceives America and if it were up to me I would close Guantanamo not tomorrow but this afternoon … and I would not let any of those people go. I would simply move them to the United States and put them into our federal legal system,” Powell told NBC’s Meet the Press.
“Essentially, we have shaken the belief the world had in America’s justice system by keeping a place like Guantanamo open and creating things like the military commission. We don’t need it and it is causing us far more damage than any good we get for it,” he added.
The United States is holding about 380 foreign terrorism suspects at Guantanamo.
Rights groups and foreign governments have called for the prison to be closed, saying holding prisoners there for years without trial violated legal standards. But Washington says the prison is legal and necessary to hold dangerous individuals.
“I would get rid of Guantanamo and the military commission system and use established procedures in federal law,” Powell said, saying some leaders around the world were using Guantanamo to hide their own misdeeds.
“It’s a more equitable way, and more understandable in constitutional terms,” he added.
