"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the United States created the Guantánamo problem and a US President is getting ready to resolve it. We need to know whether the European Union will have the powers and the competency to play a role.
The European Union must collaborate. Our Member States must receive the prisoners, such as the Uighurs, without giving in to pressure from China. If we do not do this, we risk being irrelevant in the process of closing Guantánamo.
This could be the start of new work on revealing the truth, the responsibilities of our national governments – the Portuguese Government, for example, under President Barroso – and our responsibilities relating to the fact that the proposal of exile for Saddam Hussein was dropped. This proposal was the only alternative to the war and our governments, including the United States, dropped it."@en1
