Bushbaby Remains Baby Even If Some Playpenalers Mature

The force of that baby rattle must be enormous to keep the bushbaby so infantile that it refuses to close an undemocratic, unjust prison clearly in violation of human rights and all principles of justice to everyone outside his playpen even when a couple of his playmates there finally get up the gumption to tell him he should shut it down. We're talking about Guantánamo!


Le secrétaire à la défense, Robert Gates, s'est prononcé, jeudi 29 mars, pour la fermeture de la prison de Guantanamo et le transfèrement sur le sol américain des "ennemis combattants" qui y sont détenus. Cette prise de position va à l'encontre de celle adoptée jusqu'à présent par le président George Bush, selon laquelle les étrangers soupçonnés de terrorisme ne doivent pas pouvoir prétendre aux garanties constitutionnelles américaines.
