Bush says he'd like to close Guantanamo


WASHINGTON - President Bush says he would like to close the detention center in Guantanamo in Cuba, but is waiting for a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on whether inmates can face military tribunals.

"Obviously, the Guantanamo issue is a sensitive issue for people," Bush told ARD German television. "I very much would like to end Guantanamo; I very much would like to get people to a court.

"And we're waiting for our Supreme Court to give us a decision as to whether the people need to have a fair trial in a civilian court or in a military court," he said in a transcript released Sunday.

Bush said the United States "is strong on human rights and civil rights."

"That's why we're leading the case in funding for HIV/AIDS in Africa," Bush said. "That's why we're trying to rally the nation to do something about Darfur -- the genocide in Darfur. That's why we provide food for the hungry. That's why we try to liberate people when we find them in the clutches of tyranny."

1. Excuse me, Mr. Chimperator, but where was this Darfur
rally? And who is standing in your way of sending humanitarian aid there? Somehow, I wonder if he even takes his speeches seriously. Maybe his lack of understanding of what he is saying is the reason he looks so goofy most of the time.

2. I agree on lack of understanding...
but he looks goofy because he is a goof.
