Powell : 接近的关塔那摩
在军事监狱在关塔那摩海湾为外国恐怖主义嫌疑犯应该是立刻闭合和它的囚犯被移动向美国的星期天前美国国务卿Colin Powell说。
Powell,在2003年讲话对联合国安全理事会做事件为战争反对伊拉克为拥有的大规模杀伤性武器未曾被发现,说有争议的监狱在古巴比好成为了一个“重大问题”为美国’图象海外并且做了更多害处。
“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.
