Der UN-Sonderberichterstatter für Folterfälle, Manfred Nowak, fordert eine Wiedergutmachung für Opfer des US-Gefangenenlagers Guantanamo auf Kuba. Nowak sagte am Freitag (23. Januar) im Deutschlandradio Kultur, bei der Aufarbeitung der Geschehnisse in Guantanamo gehe es zuerst um die Opfer. Er fügte hinzu: "Da ist einmal primär, dass die Opfer von Menschenrechtsverletzungen auch wirklich Wiedergutmachung bekommen." Die zweite Frage sei dann, welche Konsequenzen gegen die Täter ergriffen würden. Nowak sprach sich für die Aufnahme unschuldiger Guantanamo-Häftlinge in der Europäischen Union (EU) aus.

The growth of debt has outpaced the growth of real output. Yet, the solution offered by Obama's economic team is to expand debt further. This is not surprising as Obama's economic team consists of the very people who brought on the debt crisis. Now they are going to make it worse.

Calling a Time Out

George McGovern, The Washington Post: "As you settle into the Oval Office, Mr. President, may I offer a suggestion? Please do not try to put Afghanistan aright with the US military. To send our troops out of Iraq and into Afghanistan would be a near-perfect example of going from the frying pan into the fire. There is reason to believe some of our top military commanders privately share this view. And so does a broad and growing swath of your party and your supporters."

Afghan Unrest Killed 4,000 Civilians in 2008

Agence France-Presse: "Nearly 4,000 Afghan civilians were killed in insurgency-linked unrest in Afghanistan last year, more than two-thirds in rebel attacks and about 1,100 by foreign forces, a rights group said Tuesday. The figures released by an independent Kabul-based group called Afghanistan Rights Monitor (ARM) are far higher than those from the United Nations and international military forces."
