Ukubulala eCamp Delta yincwadi entsha kaJoseph Hickman, owayesakuba ngumlindi eGuantanamo. Ayisiyontsomi okanye uqikelelo. Xa uMongameli u-Obama athi "Sihlukumeze abanye abantu," u-Hickman ubonelela ubuncinci amatyala amathathu-ukongeza kwezinye ezininzi esizaziyo ezivela kwiindawo eziyimfihlo kwihlabathi liphela-apho ingxelo kufuneka iguqulwe ukuze "Sibulale abanye abantu." Ewe kunjalo, ukubulala kufanele ukuba kwamkeleke emfazweni (kwaye nakweyiphi na into oyibiza ngokuba yinto eyenziwa ngu-Obama ngeedrones) ngelixa ukungcungcuthekiswa kufanele ukuba, okanye kwakusisiqhelo. Kodwa kuthekani ngokuthuthumbisa kude kuse ekufeni? Kuthekani ngolingo lomntu olubulalayo? Ngaba loo nto inesangqa esaneleyo samaNazi ukuphazamisa nabani na?
Kuya kufuneka sikwazi ukuphendula loo mbuzo kungekudala, ubuncinci kwelo candelo labemi elifuna ngolunya iindaba okanye eneneni- andizenzi ezi zinto- zincwadi ezifundwayo. Ukubulala eCamp Delta yincwadi ka, ngo, nangokholo lwenene kubuthandazwe kunye nokulwa. Ungaqala ngokujonga uDick Cheney njengekhohlo kwaye ungaze ucatshukiswe yile ncwadi, ngaphandle kokuba kubhalwe iinyani zokuba umbhali ngokwakhe wayephazamisekile ngokunzulu akufumanisa ekonile. Umgca wokuqala wale ncwadi uthi "Ndingumntu othanda izwe laseMelika." Umbhali akaze ayirhole kwakhona. Ukulandela uqhushululu eGuantanamo, awayekhokele uxinzelelo kuyo, uthi:
Nangona ndandisola amabanjwa ngokwenza lo mbhodamo, ndandiyihlonipha indlela ababesilwa ngayo. Babekulungele ukulwa phantse kude kube sekufeni. Ukuba besiphethe indawo efanelekileyo yokugcina amabanjwa, ngendicinga ukuba bakhuthazwa ziinkolelo okanye ezopolitiko eziqinileyo. Inyani elusizi yayikukuba mhlawumbi balwa kakhulu ngenxa yokuba iindawo zethu ezihlwempuzekileyo kunye nonyango olungaginyisi mathe kwabatyhalela ngaphaya kwemida eqhelekileyo yabantu. Inkuthazo yabo isenokuba yayingeyiyo eyamaSilamsi kwaphela kodwa kukuba babengenanto banokuyiphila kwaye kungekho nto bazakuphulukana nayo. ”
Ngokwazi kwam, uHickman akakayisebenzisi le nto isengqiqweni yokuxokisa ubuxoki bokuba abantu balwa kwakhona e-Afghanistan okanye eIraq kuba inkolo yabo ibulala okanye ngenxa yokuba bayithiyile inkululeko yethu. UHickman uya kuba lundwendwe kwi Intetho yeRadio yeSizwe kungekudala, mhlawumbi ndiza kumbuza. Kodwa kuqala ndiza kumbulela. Ayenzeli "inkonzo" yakhe. Kwincwadi yakhe.
Uchaza inkampu yokufa efihlakeleyo apho oonogada baqeqeshelwa ukujonga amabanjwa njengabantu abaphantsi kolwazelelelo olukhulu kwaye kwathathelwa ingqalelo ukukhusela impilo ye-iguanas kune-homo sapiens. I-Chaos yayiyinto eqhelekileyo, kwaye ukuphathwa gadalala kwamabanjwa kwakumgangatho. Khol. UMike Bumgarner wayibeka kwindawo yokuqala into yokuba wonke umntu eme ekwakheni xa engena eofisini yakhe kusasa kwisandi sikaBeethoven Wesihlanu okanye "Bad Boys." UHickman ubalisa ukuba iiveni ezithile zazivunyelwa ukuba zingene ngaphakathi nangaphandle kwenkampu zingakhange zihlolwe, zisenziwa intlekisa ngamalinge abanzi okhuseleko. Wayengasazi isizathu emva koku de afumanise inkampu eyimfihlo engafakwanga nakweyiphi na imephu, indawo awayeyibiza ngokuba yiCamp No kodwa i-CIA ibizwa ngokuba yiPenny Lane.
Ukwenza izinto zibe mbi ngakumbi eGuantanamo kuya kufuna uhlobo oluthile lobuhlanga ogama linguAdmiral Harry Harris analo. Waqala ukubhudla Isibhengezo se-Spangled kwiikheyiji zamabanjwa, nto leyo ethe yakhokelela ekubeni oonogada baphathe gadalala amabanjwa angakhange eme azenze ngathi anqula iflegi yaseMelika. Uxinzelelo nogonyamelo lwenyuka. Xa uHickman wabizwa ukuba akhokele uhlaselo kumabanjwa angavumeli ukuba iKoran zawo zigqogqwe, wacebisa ukuba itoliki yamaSilamsi yenze uphando. IBumgarner kunye neqela lemigulukudu zange bayicinge loo nto, kwaye isebenza njengekhubalo. Kodwa uqhushululu olukhankanyiweyo ngaphambili lwenzeka kwenye indawo yentolongo apho uHarris wayikhaba khona itoliki; kwaye ubuxoki obaxelelwa ngumkhosi kumajelo eendaba ngoqhushululu baba nefuthe kwindlela uHickman azijonga ngayo izinto. Kukwanjalo ke nokuzimisela kwamajelo eendaba ukuphelisa ubuxoki obungenangqondo nobungenabungqina: “Isiqingatha seentatheli esigubungela ezomkhosi bekufanele ukuba sibhalisile nje; babonakala benomdla ongakumbi wokukholelwa izinto ezazithethwa ngabaphathi bethu kunathi. ”
Emva koqhankqalazo, amanye amabanjwa aqhubeka nendlala. NgoJuni i-9, i-2006, ngexesha logwayimbo lwendlala, uHickman wayephethe abalindi kwimilindo evela kwiinqaba, njalo njalo, esongamela inkampu ngobo busuku. Ukunye nabanye abagadi baqwalasele ukuba, nanjengengxelo yenkonzo yamapolisa eNavy Criminal Investigative Service malunga nalo mbandela, abanye amabanjwa bakhutshwa eziseleni zabo. Ngapha koko, iveni ethathe amabanjwa ukuya kuPenny Lane yathatha amabanjwa amathathu, kuhambo kathathu, ngaphandle kwenkampu yawo. U-Hickman wabukela ibanjwa ngalinye lilayishwa kwi-van, kwaye okwesihlandlo sesithathu walandela i-van de wabona ukuba libhekisa kuPenny Lane. Uye wabona i-van ibuya kwaye ibuyela kwizibonelelo zonyango, apho umhlobo wakhe wamazisa ukuba imizimba emithathu iziswe ngeesokisi okanye imigqakhwe efakwe emqaleni wabo.
U-Bumgarner waqokelela abasebenzi kunye wabaxelela ukuba amabanjwa amathathu azibulele ngokufaka amadlavu emqaleni wabo kwiiseli zabo, kodwa ke ukuba amajelo eendaba azokuxela ngendlela eyahlukileyo. Wonke umntu wayengavumelekanga ukuba athethe nelizwi. Ngentsasa elandelayo amajelo eendaba axele, njengoko kuyalelwe, ukuba la madoda mathathu aye azixhoma kwizisele zawo. Umkhosi ubize la "ukuzibulala" "ngoqhankqalazo olulungelelanisiweyo" kunye nesenzo "semfazwe engalinganiyo." Nditsho noJames Risen, kwindima yakhe njengo ENew York Times stenograph, yadlulisela le nkcaso ebantwini. Akukho ntatheli okanye umhleli ecinga ukuba kuluncedo ukubuza ukuba amabanjwa angazifaka njani kwizisele ezivulekileyo apho zisoloko zibonakala; babenokufumana njani amaphepha awaneleyo kunye nezinye izixhobo ukwenza imidumba ngokwabo; banokuthi bangabhaqwa njani iiyure ezimbini; enyanisweni babebopheleleke emanqeni nasezandleni zabo, bazingcungcuthekisa, benxiba iimask zobuso, emva koko bonke bazilengisa ngaxeshanye; kutheni bekungekho vidiyo okanye iifoto; kutheni bengekho oonogada abaye bohlwaywa okanye bada babuzwa ngemibuzo elandelayo; Kutheni kucingelwa ukuba la mabanjwa amathathu ayephethwe kakubi; indlela izidumbu ezazithwele nzima ngayo ngokukhawuleza kunokuba zinokwenzeka emzimbeni, njl.
Kwiinyanga ezintathu emva kokuba uHickman ebuyele e-US weva ngeendaba zokunye "ukuzibulala" okufanayo eGuantanamo. Ngubani uHickman anokujikela kuye ngale nto ayaziyo? Ufumene uprofesa wezomthetho ogama linguMark Denbeaux kwiziko leSikolo soMthetho weSikolo saseSeton Hall. Kunye naye, noogxa bakhe, uHickman wazama ukunika ingxelo ngalo mbandela ngeendlela ezifanelekileyo. ISebe lezoBulungisa lika-Obama, i-NBC, i-ABC, kunye 60 Imizuzu Bonke babonakalisa umdla, baxelelwa iinyani, kwaye bayala ukwenza into ngayo. Kodwa uScott Horton wayibhala wayibhala Harpers, uKeith Olbermann anike ingxelo ngayo kodwa eminye imithombo yeendaba yeendaba ayikhathalelanga.
Abaphandi bakaHickman noSeton Hall bafumanise ukuba i-CIA ibisebenzisa kakhulu iziyobisi ezibizwa ngokuba yi-mefloquine kumabanjwa, kubandakanya nabathathu ababuleweyo, awathi ugqirha womkhosi waxelela uHickman ukuba uza kubangela uloyiko kwaye waba "kukuphambuka kwengqondo." Ngaphezulu kwe Truthout.org UJason Leopold noJeffrey Kaye babike ukuba konke ukufika okutsha eGuantanamo kwanikwa i-mefloquine, ekucingelwa ukuba isifo se-malaria, kodwa yanikwa wonke umntu osentolongweni, engazange abe nakunogada omnye okanye nakubaphi na abantu belizwe lesithathu abavela kumazwe anobungozi obukhulu be-malaria, kwaye angaze aye kwiimbacu zaseHaiti ezazigcinwe eGuantanamo ngo-1991 nango-1992. UHickman wayeyiqalisile “inkonzo” yakhe eGuantanamo ekholelwa ukuba amabanjwa “ayengawona mabi amabi,” kodwa wayesele efumanise ukuba uninzi lwawo aluyonto. , bechongelwe ukufumana izibonelelo bengenalo ulwazi oluncinci lwento abayenzileyo. Kutheni, ezibuza,
“Ngaba amadoda anexabiso elincinci okanye axabisekanga agcinwa phantsi kwale miqathango, kwaye bade bancinwa kaninzi, iinyanga okanye iminyaka emva kokuba bebanjiwe? Nokuba bebenobukrelekrele xa bengena, ingaba ibaluleke ngantoni iminyaka kamva? . . . Impendulo enye kubonakala ngathi ilele kwinkcazo yokuba iiGeneral General [Michael] Dunlavey kunye [noGeoffrey] Miller bobabini bafake isicelo kwiGitmo. Bayibiza ngokuba 'yilebhu yedabi yaseMelika.' ”
