Amagqabantshintshi: Susa i-ajenda

Ngokuqinisekileyo, unobhala wezoKhuselo uJim Mattis uyakuchasa ukuthuthunjiswa. Kodwa iiarhente ezininzi zeCIA, ubhedu lomkhosi, abezomthetho, kunye nabemi bakuchasile ukuthuthunjiswa amashumi eminyaka. Abo banomnqweno wokuthuthunjiswa bafumana indlela.

Ulawulo lukaBush lwalungcungcuthekisa amabanjwa angaphandle esebenzisa i-waterboarding, ukutyisa ngenkani, ukutyisa i-rectal, ukubetheka kwiindonga zekhonkrithi, amanzi angumkhenkce, ukuhluba, ukubethwa, ukurhuqa, ukubulawa, ukuhlaliswa yedwa, ukutofa iziyobisi, ukuvalelwa kabuhlungu kwiibhokisi ezincinci, ukubaleka ngenkani ngelixa ugqunyiwe kwaye ukhathaza. izoyikiso kwiintsapho. Ukuziphatha okucekisekayo okunjalo, ngokuhanahanisa ukugcina amaxabiso aseMelika kunye nokhuseleko, kwenza abanye abantu baseMelika bafune ukukrazula iiflegi zabo.

Ityala labathinjwa basemzini lidla ngokungaziwa. Akukho zilingo. Akukho nenkcazo ecacileyo yetyala. Nokuba bekunobungqina bokuba unetyala, ukuthuthunjiswa kukuziphatha okubi kwaye akukho mthethweni. Inkqubo yokuthuthumbisa emva kwe-9/11 yaphula uMgaqo-siseko wase-US, iKhowudi eFanayo yase-U.S yoBulungisa boMkhosi, kunye nomthetho wamazwe ngamazwe.

Umgaqo-nkqubo wentuthumbo wase-US uxhomekeke ngokuyinxenye kwiingcali zengqondo uJames Mitchell kunye noBruce Jessen kwingcinga engenangqondo yokuba njengoko izinja ziyeka ukuxhathisa izothuso zombane xa ukufunda ukuxhathisa kulilize, amabanjwa aya kukhulula ulwazi oluyinyani xa ethuthunjiswa. Qaphela, izinja ezihluphekileyo azizange ziveze naluphi na ulwazi. Yaye zinikwe uqeqesho lothando, izinja ziya kusebenzisana ngovuyo.

Kwi-2002, uMitchell noJessen baphumeze ukuhlushwa kwindawo emnyama yase-US eThailand eqhutywa nguGina Haspel, owayenevidiyo ye-video yesayithi yatshatyalaliswa kwi-2005 kwaye ngoku i-Trump isekela umlawuli we-CIA. Ngaloo nyaka, i-CIA yakhupha phantse yonke inkqubo yayo yokuncina uMitchell, uJessen, kunye no-Associates abaphuhlise i-20 "iindlela zokuncina eziphuculweyo" ze-81.1 yezigidi zeedola. Umbulali okhohlakeleyo wayenokuyenza loo nto simahla.

Sasiyintoni isizathu sokonakala kwerhafu? Igqwetha leCIA uJohn Rizzo wachaza, “Urhulumente wayefuna isisombululo. Yayifuna indlela yokwenza aba bafana bathethe.” URizzo wayekholelwa ukuba ukuba kuthe kwenzeka olunye uhlaselo kwaye woyisakala ukunyanzela abathinjwa ukuba bathethe, uyakuba noxanduva lokufa kwamawaka.

Owayesakuba liGqwetha leGqwetha Jikelele u-Alberto Gonzales wakhusela inkqubo yentuthumbo "amandla okufumana ngokukhawuleza ulwazi kubanqolobi ababanjiweyo ... ukunqanda ubugwenxa obungakumbi kubantu baseMelika."

Ngoko inkohlakalo ikhuselwa egameni lokusikhusela, ngokungathi siziinkuku ezibalekayo, sikholelwa ukuba isibhakabhaka siya kuwa ukuba asiqini ngoku. Kodwa ukuba isenzo esisexesheni sibalulekile, ngaba akuchithi ixesha lokuhamba ngokukhawuleza kwindlela engafanelekanga?

Ngapha koko, abakhe bagocagoca ngemibuzo bayazi ukuba ukuthuthumbisa akuncedi nganto. Kuyonakalisa ukucaca kwengqondo, ukuhambelana, kunye nokukhumbula. Kwingxelo yayo yowama-2014, iKomiti yeNgqondo yeSenate yabona ukusilela okungathandabuzekiyo kwentuthumbo njengesixhobo sokuqokelela ulwazi: Ayifumani bulumko okanye intsebenziswano yamabanjwa. Amaxhoba, ukukhala, ukungqiba, nokuncwina kuguqulelwa ngokuthi “akakwazi ukunxibelelana kakuhle.”

Okona kucekiseka ngakumbi ngumgangatho ophindwe kabini wobulungisa wase-US. OoMongameli uGeorge W. Bush, uBarack Obama, kunye noTrump baye bakhusela amalungu enkqubo yentuthumbo ekutshutshisweni, ngokufuthi ngokubhenela “ilungelo lolawulo lweemfihlo zikarhulumente.” Kuyabonakala ukuba, ukungcungcuthekiswa kwabantu asingobakhe betyala. Bangaphezu komthetho. Sifanele siqonde ukuba bebesenza konke okusemandleni abo, bekhonza isizwe sethu, belandela imiyalelo, becinezelekile, besoyika: abantu abalungileyo abaneenjongo ezintle.

Ukanti xa sibhenela kubarhanelwa baseMbindi-Mpuma, akufanelanga ukuba sithathele ingqalelo iimeko zabo, inkuthazo, uxinzelelo, okanye uloyiko lwabo. Kuyabonakala ukuba, nabo abakho ematyaleni. Bangaphantsi komthetho. Babethelele ngezikhonkwane ngeedrones, ukubulala ngokungekho mthethweni kuthandeka ngakumbi kwezopolitiko kunokungcungcuthekiswa ngokungekho mthethweni.

UMitchell, uJessen, kunye no-Associates bajongene nesimangalo enkundleni ye-26 kaJuni, kwaye uTrump uzama ukuvimba ukufikelela kwinkundla yomanyano kubungqina beCIA ngezizathu "zokhuseleko lwesizwe."

Kodwa okoko nje i-US ibona iintshaba ngendlela abatshabalalisi ababona ngayo amaphela, ukhuseleko lwelizwe aluyi kuba lula kwaye naluphi na uxolo alusayi kuzinza kunendlu yamakhadi.

Qaphela ukuba iinzame zobuntlola zihlala zijikeleza ekufumaneni ubukrelekrele obutshabalalisayo: ulwazi lokoyisa iintshaba. Akufunwa ubukrelekrele bokwakha, akukho nto ikhanyisa oonobangela bobundlobongela kunye nezisombululo zentsebenziswano.

Ngoba? Ngenxa yokuba iCIA, i-NSA, kunye neSebe lezoKhuselo zifakwe kwibhokisi yimishini yombutho ukoyisa iintshaba, iimishini ezithintela amandla engqondo okubona utshaba njengayo nayiphi na intliziyo okanye ingqondo ekufanele ukukhathalelwa.

Ukuba sidale iSebe loXolo laseMelika elinjongo yalo ibikukujongana nobundlobongela obungenabundlongondlongo, loo mishini yayiza kuxhobisa ubuchule baseMelika kunye nomdla kumfanekiso omkhulu wokusonjululwa kwempixano kunye nobuhlobo kunokuba ufikelele kwizigqibo ezithi ukhuseleko lufuna inkohlakalo kwiintshaba.

Kuya kufuneka sibuze ngobubele abahlobo kunye neentshaba zaseMbindi-Mpuma ngeembono zabo nge-ISIS, iTaliban, kunye ne-US, babuze izimvo zabo zokudala intembeko, inkathalo, ubulungisa noxolo, ukuphila ubomi obunentsingiselo, ukwabelana ngobutyebi namandla, kunye nokusombulula. ukungavisisani. Imibuzo enjalo inokuxhokonxa ngokukhawuleza ubuNhloli obuxhobisayo obufunekayo ukuze kusebenze izisombululo zentsebenziswano.

Kodwa ngaphandle kwendlela ekhathalayo yoxolo, ukucinga kwaseMelika kuyasilela, sicinga kuphela ububi obunokubangelwa ukwala ukungcungcuthekisa nokubulala, kunokulungileyo okuza kuvela kungquzulwano olungenabundlobongela.
