ROME - The United States should close its Guantanamo Bay prison “as swiftly as possible,” Italy’s Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi was quoted as saying on Thursday, a week before meeting US President George W. Bush in Washington.Berlusconi, one of Bush’s staunchest European allies, made the comment in an interview with Al Jazeera, in which he was asked if Guantanamo should be closed down. “Yes, I have spoken about it with many of my colleagues and I too think that these centres, where episodes have taken place that have been condemend by the whole world, must be closed as swiftly as possible,” said Berlusconi.
