Rice: US not a global jailer |
2006-04-01 |
![]() Also on Friday, Rice said her country harbours no desire to be the world's jailer. Speaking at a football stadium, Rice said: "We want the terrorists that we capture to stand trial for their crimes. But we also recognise that we are fighting a new kind of war, and that our citizens will judge us harshly if we release a captured terrorist before we are absolutely certain that he does not possess information that could prevent a future attack." Jack Straw announced last week that Britain would take up the case of a British resident held at the Guantanamo. He said the government would intervene on behalf of Bisher al-Rawi, 37, a native Iraqi and British resident who was arrested in Gambia three years ago. |

#2 UN administrator - the people who gave us Rwanda - uses hearsay statements to condemn US treatment of Guantanamo Bay terrorists: http://service.spiegel.de/cache/international/0,1518,401345,00.html UN Report download. Worth a chuckle, or whatever. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/bsp/hi/pdfs/16_02_06_un_guantanamo.pdf |
