Kwakubuhlungu ngokwaneleyo ukuhlala kuhlaselo lwaseMelika eIraq olwabangela ukonakala okungathethekiyo kunye nosizi lomntu ngaphandle kwesizathu esivakalayo.
Ngoku sikhunjuzwa ngelifa elibi lika-Bush kunye nomongameli onyulwe ngu-Biden u-Avril Haines njengo-Mlawuli we-National Intelligence. I-Haines, ene-inside-the-beltway idumela lokuthetha kwaye ithambile, yayintle kakhulu kwiiarhente ze-CIA ezazigqobhoza iikhompyuter zabaphenyi beKomiti ye-Senate Intelligence Committee bejonga ukusetyenziswa kwe-CIA yokungcungcuthekisa-ukuntywila emanzini, ukungalali, i-hypothermia, Ukondla ngokutya, ukubetha, ukuthotywa ngokwesondo- kwintolongo zaseGuatanamo naseAfghanistan ngexesha leMfazwe yaseBush kwiToyikiso.
NjengoSekela Mlawuli we-CIA kulawulo luka-Obama, uHaines ukhethe ukungabohlwayi abo bagculeli be-CIA baphule ukwahlulwa kwamandla, bawele umda kwaye babeke i-firewall phakathi kwamasebe olawulo kunye nowiso-mthetho. Ukongeza isithuko ekonzakaleni, iHaines ikhokelele iqela elayila ingxelo egqibeleleyo ye-5 yeminyaka, i-6,000-iphepha le-Senate Committee Committee on Torture de lancitshiswa laza lancitshiswa, isishwankathelo esinamaphepha angama-500 esigcotshwe nge-inki emnyama ukugubungela izinto ezoyikisayo kunye khusela abo banoxanduva.
Yiyo loo nto abo basinde ekuhlukunyezweni kunye nabathetheleli babo besandula ukukhupha isigwebo Ileta evulekileyo Ukubongoza iiSenethi ukuba zivote HAYI kwiiHaines xa utyumbo lwakhe luza kungena phakathi kukaJanuwari okanye uFebruwari emva kobuqhophololo be-cyber kunye nemeko yokumiselwa kukaMongameli. Ileta, etyikitywe ngamabanjwa / abasindileyo kwintuthumbo eGuantanamo, ikwachasa ukutyunjwa kukaMike Morell, umhlalutyi weCIA phantsi kukaBush, kuMlawuli weCIA.
"Ukuphakamisa abathetheleli kwisikhundla sobunkokheli kulawulo lweBiden kuya konakalisa ukuma kwe-USA kwaye kunike oozwilakhe ukuba bancede kwaye bathuthuzele," utshilo.
UDjamel Ameziane, ibanjwa laseGuantanamo laseAlgeria elangcungcuthekiswayo labanjwa ngaphandle kwetyala ukusukela ngo-2002 ukuya ku-2013, de wade wakhululwa entolongweni.
Ukutsala kukaMorell kusenokuncipha kulawulo lweBiden, nangona kunjalo, emva kokuba inkqubela phambili isungule iphulo ngokuchasene noMorell, owayesakuba nguSekela-Mlawuli kunye neCandelo loMlawuli we-CIA phantsi kuka-Obama, kunye ne-Senator Ron Wyden -i-Democrat enamandla kwi-Senate Intelligence Committee-wambiza " uxolisa uxinzelelo "kwaye wathi ukubekwa kwakhe njengentloko ye-CIA" yinto engaqaliyo. "
Izichaso kuMorell zibandakanya ezakhe khuselo yee-Arhente "Ukuvavanywa okuphuculweyo" izenzo: ukurhaxwa okuhlekisayo, "ukuzijongela eludongeni" - ukubetha amabanjwa eludongeni, ukubetha amabanjwa ngeentambo zombane, ukulahla amanzi abandayo apholisayo kumabanjwa ahamba ze ngaphandle kwamanabukeni.
UMorell wenqabile ukubiza ezi zenzo zangcungcuthekiso. "Andikuthandi ukuyibiza ngokuba kukungcungcuthekisa ngesizathu esinye esilula: ukuyibiza ngokuba kungcungcuthekisa abantu bam bathi bangabahlukumezi," uvumile uMorell kwiiNtatheli ze-Sekela ngo-2015. obeka abahlobo bakhe beCIA ngaphezulu kwenyani, umthetho kunye nesidima esisisiseko.
UMorell akayibizi intuthumbo, kodwa owasindayo uGuantanamo uMozamam Begg uyazi kakuhle ukuba yintoni intuthumbo. U-Begg, otyikitye uvumo lobuxoki ngelixa ethuthunjiswa, nguMlawuli we-Outreach we-CAGE, umbutho osekwe e-UK okhonza uluntu oluntsokotheyo yi-War on Terror. UBegg ukhumbula imihla yakhe egcinwe e-US. “Baye bandibopha izandla zam ngasemva ngasemva emilenzeni, bandikhaba entloko, bandikhaba emqolo, bandisongela ngokundisa eYiphutha ndiyokungcungcuthekiswa, ndidlwengulwe, ndibanjwe ngumbane. Babenomfazi owayememeza kwigumbi elilandelayo endikholelwa ukuba ngelo xesha yayingumkam. Bathenga imifanekiso yabantwana bam kwaye bandixelela ukuba andisoze ndibabone kwakhona.
Ngokuchasene nengxelo yeSeneti kunye novavanyo lwangaphakathi lwe-CIA, uMorell wazithethelela ngokuhlukumeza ngokunyanzelisa ukuba kuyasebenza ekuthinteleni iyelenqe elizayo kubantu baseMelika. Abasebenzi beNdlu yeeNgwevu bathi uMorell unamagama, imihla kunye neenyani zonke zidityanisiwe, kwaye wayengalunganga ngokusebenza kakuhle kokuhlukunyezwa.
Umsindisi woThutho kunye nombhali ophumelele amabhaso uMonsoor Adayfi, othengiselwe imikhosi yase-US eAfghanistan ngemali eninzi kwaye wavalelwa ngaphandle kwentlawulo eGuantanamo kangangeminyaka eli-14, uyazi kakuhle ukuba ukungcungcuthekiswa akusebenzi. "EGuantanamo, xa bekubeka phantsi kweemeko ezimbi kakhulu-njengeeyure ezingama-72 phantsi kwempepho ebandayo, kwaye ubotshelelwe emhlabeni umntu afike akuthele ngamanzi abandayo-uza kubaxelela nantoni na abafuna ukuba uyenze. yitsho. Ndiza kutyikitya nantoni na, ndiza kuvuma nantoni na! ”
Ukongeza ekusebenziseni kakubi ukungcungcuthekisa, uMorell wanceda ukukhusela abahlukumezi ekuphenduleni ngokukhusela i-CIA's 2005 yokutshatyalaliswa phantse kwe-90 yevidiyo ezotyiweyo zokuncinwa kabuhlungu kuka-Abu Zubaydah kunye namanye amabanjwa kwiindawo ezimnyama ze-CIA.
Iiprogressives kufuneka zazi kungekudala ukuba ubudlelwane obuluqilima bukaMorell kunye neearhente zeCIA zexesha le-Bush zingcwaba ukutyunjwa kwakhe ngokulungileyo.
U-Biden kulindeleke ukuba atyumbe umgqatswa wakhe kumlawuli we-CIA nangaluphi na usuku ngoku. KuJeffrey Kaye, umbhali we-Cover-Up eGuantanamo kunye notyikityo kwi-Open Letter, uMongameli-oNyuliweyo makadlulise uMorell kwaye iSenethi mayichithe iHaines. “UMorell noHaines babeke ukunyaniseka kwabo bangcungcuthekisayo kwi-CIA ngaphezu kokubambelela kwizivumelwano zase-US kunye nomthetho wasekhaya, kunye nokuziphatha okusisiseko. Ukubavumela ukuba basebenze kurhulumente kungathumela umyalezo kubo bonke obo xanduva lokuphathwa gadalala kuyadlula, kwaye ulwaphulo-mthetho lwemfazwe luya kuhlala luchithwa nge-wink kwabo bakwizikhundla eziphezulu. ”
Abanye abasayine ileta echasa uMorell noHaines baquka:
- U-Mohamedou Ould Salahi, ibanjwa lase-Guantanamo eligcinwe ngaphandle kweminyaka eyi-14; wabethwa, wanyanzelwa, waphulukana nokulala; ikhutshwe ngo-2016, umbhali, IDayari yeGuantánamo;
- UMajor Todd Pierce (Umkhosi wase-US, uMhlala-phantsi), igqwetha leJaji eliyiNtloko Jikelele kumaqela ezokhuselo abameli babomkhosi baseGuantánamo;
- UDade Dianna Ortiz, umthunywa wevangeli waseMelika, utitshala wabantwana baseMayan, owangcungcuthekiswa ngamalungu omkhosi waseGuatemala oxhaswa ngemali yiCIA;
- UCarlos Mauricio, unjingalwazi weKholeji owaxhwilwa wangcungcuthekiswa ngamaqela ase-United States ase-El Salvador; UMlawuli oLawulayo: iProjekthi yokuMisa ukuNgabi naXolo;

- URoger Waters, imvumi ngaphambili eyayinoPink Floyd, ingoma yayo ethi "Ikhandlela ngalinye elincinci" yimbeko kwixhoba lokuhlukunyezwa.
Iinkqubela phambili beziphembelela ukufakwa kwabaxolisi kulawulo lweBiden ukusukela ngeNdibano yesiZwe yeDemokhrasi ka-Agasti, xa abathunywa abangama-450 bethumele ileta kuBiden emcela ukuba aqeshe abacebisi abatsha bemigaqo-nkqubo yamanye amazwe kwaye ayikhabe iHaines. UCODEPINK kamva wasungula uxwebhu lwezikhalazo sayinwe ngaphezulu kwe-4,000, kwaye iququzelele iCapitol Hill ibiza amaqela kunye nabathunywa abangamaSilamsi kunye neAllies ukuba bashiye "Hayi kwiHaines, Hayi eMorell," imiyalezo kwiiofisi zamalungu eKomiti yezoBuntlola ye-Senate emiselwe ukubuza iHaines ngexesha lokumanyelwa kwetyala.
Kangangeenyanga, uMorell wayegqalwa njengophambili kumlawuli we-CIA, kodwa inkcaso ekuzikhuseleni ngokulihlazo ngenxa yokungcungcuthekiswa kuye kwaphazamisa ukuphakanyiswa kwakhe. Ngoku abachasi bemfazwe abachasene nemfazwe bathi bafuna ukuqinisekisa ukuba ukutyunjwa kwakhe akukho etafileni, kwaye uBiden kunye neNdlu yeeNgwevu bayamqonda u-Avril Haines kufuneka enqatshelwe ngenxa yokuqina kwakhe ekuthinteleni ubungqina bokuhlukunyezwa yi-CIA.
Kukho okungakumbi.
Bobabini uMorell kunye noHaines baxhasa ukutyunjwa kukaTrump kukaGina Haspel kuMlawuli weCIA- ulonyulo olwalusakuba ngu-Senator Kamala Harris, nabanye abaDemokhrasi abaziwayo, kunye noSenator uJohn McCain baphikisa ngamandla. UHaspel wongamela indawo emnyama yaseThailand kwaye wayila imemo egunyazisa ukutshatyalaliswa kwevidiyo zeCIA ezibonisa ukungcungcuthekiswa.
Ngokwamazwi kaColonel Wilkerson, iNtloko yaBasebenzi kuNobhala welizwe likaBush uColin Powell, “Ukuxhwilwa, ukuthuthunjiswa kunye nokugetyengwa akunandawo kwidemokhrasi kwaye kuguqule iCIA ibe ngamapolisa afihlakeleyo ... kwakhona."
Kwaye banako-ukuba iBiden kunye neNdlu yeeNgwevu yonyusa abaxolisi kunye nabamhlophe kwiNdlu yeWhite House.
Sifuna iinkokheli zobuntlola ezivumayo ukuba ukungcungcuthekiswa engekho mthethweni phantsi komthetho wamanye amazwe; Kukungabi nabuntu oko; ukuba ayisebenzi; ukuba kubeka emngciphekweni abasebenzi bezomkhosi base-US ababanjwe ziintshaba. Abantu baseMelika kufuneka bathumele umyalezo ocacileyo kuMongameli-onyuliweyo uBiden ukuba asizukubamkela abenzi bokuhlukumeza kulawulo lwakhe.
