I came across this statement in the house in my travels; The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs (Mr. Chris Mullin): On 3 July, the United States designated six detainees, including two British nationals held at Guantanamo Bay, as eligible for trial under a military commission. We have strong reservations about the military commission. We have raised, and will continue to raise them energetically with the US. The Foreign Secretary spoke to the US Secretary of State, Colin Powell, about that over the weekend and will speak to him again in the next few days. So far, neither of the detainees has been charged. However, we have made it clear to the US that we expect the process to fulfil internationally accepted standards of a fair trial. We will follow the process carefully. The US is aware of our fundamental opposition to the use of the death penalty in all circumstances. If there is any suggestion that the death penalty might be sought in these cases, we would raise the strongest possible objections. As regards the conditions in which all those prisoners are held, the Prime Minister has, on a number of occasions, made it clear that he regards the situation in Guantanamo Bay as unsatisfactory. +++ -- Jim Watt http://www.gibnet.com |

Yea a 9mm to the back of the head is good treatment... Jim |

So far, neither of the detainees has been charged. However, we have made it clear to the US that we expect the process to fulfil internationally accepted standards of a fair trial. We will follow the process carefully. Completly understandable, we would do the same if the situation was reversed. The US is aware of our fundamental opposition to the use of the death penalty in all circumstances. If there is any suggestion that the death penalty might be sought in these cases, we would raise the strongest possible objections. Noted, thank you. How ever in our laws there is a place for the death penelty. Providing they get a fair trail, the punishment is up to the judge depending on the crime of course. If they committed a capital crime, to bad, so sad. As regards the conditions in which all those prisoners are held, the Prime Minister has, on a number of occasions, made it clear that he regards the situation in Guantanamo Bay as unsatisfactory. What is unsatisfactory in your View might I ask.. I understand they get food, shelter, water, medical care, exercise, are allowed to pratice there religion. They are questioned wearing restraints sure, but they are not beat or tourtured... So what is the beef? It is a detention compounnd not the Ritz. What no cable TV? Jim |

Why occupy someone elses country against the wishes of its inhabitants ? The original lease was a hundred years. Since then, it's been extended. Since Cuba is desparately in need of US tourism money far more than it's need of Gitmo or UN money. We're not occuying Cuba, since if we were, we'd be occupying Havana, not Gitmo. Dunno whether is because I've been complaining about your Government, but they are now making if difficult to impossible to visit your fair land by withdrawing the visa waiver scheme as from October But, that parts of our master plan. We don't really care if Al Qauda visits Guantonemo Bay, Cuba or Mecca. But we've withdrawn all of their Visas for New York, or anyplace in the US that has non-government jobs. |

Are the english leaving? The English live in England. Sometimes they leave on holiday, sometimes they leave the country. In case you missed it, the money donated by Americans was used to fund a socialist party, various gangsters, to kill Irish people, irrespective of religion in the North and South and attempt to murder and to murder other nationalities in other countries. -- Jim Watt http://www.gibnet.com |
