コリン・パウエル前の米国の国務長官は米国に動く外国のテロリズムの容疑者のためのグアンタナモ湾の軍刑務所がすぐに閉鎖し、収容者べきである日曜日に言った。

国連安全保障理事会への2003年のスピーチで決して見つけられなかった所有の大量破壊兵器のためのイラクに対する戦争の重要性を主張したPowellは、キューバの論争の的になる刑務所がイメージ」に米国の」のための外国に「大きな問題なり、よいよりより多くの害をしたことを言った。

“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.
