".
I will be voting for this resolution. It is a balanced criticism of what the Bush Administration is doing in holding terrorist suspects illegally in prison in a part of Cuba some would argue it occupies illegally.
The terrible events of 09/11 changed the world and we have enormous sympathy with the families of the victims and the survivors. It was and is only right and proper that we combine in the fight against terrorism around the world, whether in New York, or Madrid, London or Jakarta. Yet our combined struggle is undermined with the existence of Guantanamo Bay, the revelations regarding 'extraordinary rendition' that our Committee of Inquiry is investigating, and the failure to properly investigate allegations of atrocities in Iraq. Two wrongs do not make a right. Our struggle can only win the moral high ground if it clearly is within the limits of national and international law."@en1
