Insizwa ethile yahlukunyezwa eChicago kuleli sonto. Kwakungesona isenzo samaphoyisa aseChicago. Isakazwe bukhoma kuFacebook. Futhi uMongameli wase-United States wakumemezela njengobugebengu obunenzondo obunyantisayo.
UMongameli akelulekanga “ukubheka phambili” kunokuba asebenzise umthetho. Futhi akazange alibeke obala ukuthi kungenzeka ubugebengu babufeza injongo ethile ephakeme. Eqinisweni, akazange abuthethelele ubugebengu nganoma iyiphi indlela engasiza ukutusa ukuba bulingise abanye.
Nokho lo mongameli ofanayo ukunqabele ukushushiswa kwabahlukumezi bakahulumeni wase-US iminyaka engu-8 edlule futhi manje usebone kufanele ukuthi agcine umbiko weSenethi oneminyaka emine mayelana nokuhlukunyezwa kwabo okungenani iminyaka engu-12 ngaphezulu.
Abanye abantu e-United States bangagcina ukuthi inqubomgomo yezemvelo neyesimo sezulu kufanele isekelwe emaqinisweni. Abanye abantu (kunokugqagqana okuncane kakhulu phakathi kwamaqembu amabili) bangakutshela ukuthi inqubomgomo yase-US maqondana neRussia kufanele isekelwe kumaqiniso afakazelwe. Nokho, lapha samukela ngokushesha ukuthi inqubomgomo yokuhlushwa yase-US izosekelwe ekufihleni amaqiniso.
Umbhali oyinhloko weSenate Torture Report, uDianne Feinstein, ukubiza ngokuthi “ukudalulwa okuphelele kokungasebenzi kokuhlushwa.” Nokho, nakhu kufika uMongameli uTrump, ethembisa ngokusobala ukuthi uzozibandakanya ekuhlushweni ngenxa yokusebenza kwayo kahle (ukuziphatha kanye nokuba semthethweni kufanele kulahlwe), futhi bobabili u-Obama noFeinstein banelisa ukushiya umbiko ufihliwe. Okusho ukuthi, uFeinstein ugcizelela ukuthi kufanele kuvezwe esidlangalaleni manje, kodwa akasithathi isinyathelo sokuyibeka esidlangalaleni.
Yebo, nakuba uMthethosisekelo wase-US wenza iKhongolose ibe igatsha likahulumeni elinamandla kunawo wonke, amakhulu eminyaka ombuso agunyazwe anxenxe wonke umuntu ukuthi umongameli angakwazi ukuvala imibiko yeSigele. Kodwa uma u-Feinstein ekholelwa ngempela ukuthi kubalulekile wayezothola isibindi somsholozi futhi athathe amathuba akhe noMnyango Wezobulungiswa.
Amathuba okuthi uDonald Trump akhulule (noma afunde) umbiko abonakala emancane kodwa engenzeka. Ukube u-Obama ubefuna ngempela ukungcwaba lo mbiko unomphela ubezowuputshuza manje amemezele ukuthi abaseRussia yibo abathintekayo. Khona-ke kuyoba umsebenzi wawo wonke umuntu wokushisekela izwe ukuba angabikeli noma angabuki. (Ubani uDebbie Wasserman?) Kodwa izintshisekelo zethu zomphakathi, njengoba siwukhokhele umbiko (ingasaphathwa eyokuhlushwa) zivezwa ngokushesha ngaphandle kokukhwabanisa.
Kungekudala ngemuva kwe- isikhalazo yethulwa ifuna u-Obama akhiphe lo mbiko, wamemezela ukuthi uzowuvikela ekubhujisweni okwesatshwayo ngokuwugcina uyimfihlo iminyaka engu-12 nangaphezulu. Indlela eqinisekile kakhulu yokulivikela ekubhujisweni kungaba ukulenza libe sesidlangalaleni.
Sekuyiminyaka emine iKomidi lezigele “Lezobunhloli” likhiphe lo mbiko onamakhasi ayi-7,000. Kunzima ngokwanele ukuthi idokhumenti enamakhasi ayi-7,000 iphikisana nezinganekwane, amanga, namafilimu aseHollywood. Kodwa impi engalungile ngempela lapho idokhumenti igcinwa iyimfihlo. Isifinyezo esinamakhasi angu-500 kuphela esakhishwa eminyakeni emibili edlule.
UDavid Welna we-NPR muva nje ubike ngalesi sihloko, ngendlela evamile kwabezindaba base-US, ethi: “Umongameli okhethiwe uTrump . . . umkhankaso wokubuyisa ukuhlukunyezwa obekungavumelekile ngesikhathi sokuphatha kuka-Obama. "
Eqinisweni, ukuhlukunyezwa kwenqatshelwe, phakathi kweminye imithetho, iSichibiyelo Sesishiyagalombili, Isimemezelo Sendawo Yonke Samalungelo Abantu, Isivumelwano Somhlaba Wonke Samalungelo Abantu Nezombangazwe, I-Convention Against Torture (ehlanganiswe yi-US phakathi nokuphathwa kukaReagan), kanye ne-anti. -imithetho yokuhlukumeza kanye nobugebengu bempi kuKhodi yase-US (ukuphatha kukaClinton).
Ukuhlukumeza kwakuyicala kuso sonke isikhathi esihlanganiswa Umbiko Wokuhlushwa. UMongameli Obama wenqabela ukushushiswa, nakuba i-Convention Against Torture ikudinga. Ukubusa komthetho kuhlukumezekile, kodwa isilinganiso esithile seqiniso nokubuyisana sisengenzeka - uma sivunyelwe ukwazi iqiniso. Noma kunalokho: uma sivunyelwe ukuthi iqiniso liphinde liqinisekiswe kudokhumenti eligunyaziwe eliqinisekisiwe ukuthi lizothathwa ngokungathi sína.
Uma sinqatshelwa iqiniso ngokuhlushwa, amanga azoqhubeka ethethelela, futhi azoqhubeka nokubanga izisulu. Amanga azothi ukuhlukumeza “kuyasebenza” ngomqondo wokuphoqelela ukukhiqizwa kolwazi oluwusizo. Eqinisweni, ukuhlukumeza “kuyasebenza” ngomqondo wokuphoqa izisulu ukuthi zisho lokho okufiswa umhlukumezi, okuhlanganisa namagugu anjengokuthi “i-Iraq inobudlelwano ne-al Qaeda.”
Ukuhlukunyezwa kungaveza impi, kodwa ukuhlushwa nakho kukhiqizwa impi. Labo abaqaphela ukuthi impi isetshenziselwa ukugunyaza ukubulala abanakho ukungabaza mayelana nokwengeza icala elincane lokuhlukumeza ebhokisini lamathuluzi lempi. Lapho amaqembu afana ne-ACLU ephikisana nokuhlushwa ngenkathi ukugqugquzela impi babophe izandla zombili ngemuva. Iphupho lempi engahlukumezi liyinkohliso. Futhi lapho izimpi zingaqediwe, futhi ukuhlukunyezwa kuguqulwa kusuka ebugebengwini kube yisinqumo senqubomgomo, ukuhlukunyezwa kuyaqhubeka, njengoba nayo ngesikhathi sikamongameli u-Obama.
Amanye amaDemocrat acasulwe ukuthi amaClinton azojoyina uDonald Trump emgubhweni wakhe wokuqala. Benzani ngo-Obama ukukhoselisa umeluleki kaTrump u-Dick Cheney engxenyeni emaphakathi yenqubo yakhe yobugebengu?
