美國政府極具爭議性的報告一發(fā)出就引發(fā)了不小的轟動,周三的新聞我們就來談一談。報道內(nèi)容涉及自2001年美國911恐怖襲擊事件之后中情局采用極端手段審訊犯罪分子詳細報道。這一報道由參議院情報委員會發(fā)布,其職責是監(jiān)督和審視美國政府情報行動。
In order to get information from terrorism suspects, the report says the CIA would deprive them of sleep, sometimes for days, sometimes in uncomfortable positions. It says some suspects were beaten, and some were water-boarded, when water is poured onto someone`s face and head to instill a fear of drowning.
該報道稱為了從恐怖分子口中獲得一手情報資料,中情局會采用禁止睡覺,有時還會采用痛苦姿勢站立形式對恐怖分子進行酷刑。報道稱多數(shù)犯罪嫌疑人都受到毆打,一些人還被施行“水刑”,不停的在頭上、臉上澆水讓人產(chǎn)生窒息。
Critics including President Obama called these methods torture and say they are ineffective in getting information. Defenders including the CIA called the methods effective and say they helped prevent terrorist attacks.
包括奧巴馬總統(tǒng)在內(nèi)都認為中情局這種做法表示殘酷,稱這對于獲得一手情報來講并沒有產(chǎn)生多大效果。而辯護者包括中情局方面稱所有這些手段都是有效的,并且有效阻止了恐怖分子的襲擊。
Yesterday, U.S. security officials warned law enforcement that the report could influence extremists and terrorists to attack the U.S.
昨天美國安全官員警告稱報告的發(fā)表可能引發(fā)恐怖分子和極端分子對美國發(fā)動襲擊。
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Thousands of U.S. military personnel on heightened alert, anticipating the release of a report by the Senate Intelligence Committee on top secret interrogation tactics and torture of CIA detainees.
數(shù)千名美國軍事人員處于高度戒備狀態(tài)參與到參議院情報委員會絕密審訊策略和中情局酷刑報告發(fā)布會。
REP. MIKE ROGERS (R) INTELLIGENCE CHAIRMAN: Our own intelligence community has assessed that this will cause violence and deaths.
我們自己情報機構評估認為此報道一經(jīng)發(fā)出會引發(fā)暴力沖突。
The Marines are positioned in key areas, ready to respond to potential violent reactions directed at U.S. embassies and military bases around the globe. Believed to be included in the report, details of water-boarding and other interrogation tactics in the years after 9/11.
海軍陸戰(zhàn)隊已經(jīng)在主要地點待命,準備應對針對美國大使館和全球軍事基地潛在的暴力沖突的發(fā)生。報告認為自911事件發(fā)生之后那年起“水刑”和其他審訊酷刑就已經(jīng)存在。
The CIA believes the so called enhanced interrogation techniques including water-boarding provided key information that prevented other terror attacks and led to the capture of Osama bin Laden.
中情局相信所謂的強化審訊技術包括“水刑”對獲得情報資料,阻止恐怖襲擊,領導逮捕本拉登行動都有不可或缺的作用。
But the report questions the effectiveness of those procedures. Critics of the $50 million report question the timing of its release.
但是報道對這些酷刑的有效性提出了質疑。批評者對這份價值5000萬美元的報道發(fā)布時間提出了質疑。
JOSH EARNEST, WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY: When would be a good time to release this report, and it`s difficult to imagine one. Particularly because of the painful details that will be included, but again, the president believes that it is important for us to be as transparent as we possibly can be about what exactly transpired, so we can just be clear to the American public and to people around the world that something like this should not happen again.
什么時候發(fā)布該報道才是最后時間呢,很難想出一個很好的時間。尤其是報告中還包括酷刑細節(jié),但是再次強調一遍,總統(tǒng)相信,我們發(fā)布這一報告是很重要的,我們可以在美國公眾和世界人民面前清楚表明這種事情不會再發(fā)生。
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Former Vice President Dick Cheney dismissed the Senate report saying, the CIA`s interrogation methods were "absolutely totally justified."
前副總統(tǒng)迪克切尼為中情局辯護稱其做法完全合情合理。
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Cheney who hasn`t read the report strongly defended CIA leaders arguing the program itself was worth it, adding "As far as I`m concerned, they ought to be decorated, not criticized." That sentiment was echoed by former President Bush.
切尼還沒有讀過報告就稱中情局做法是非常有價值的。并稱“就我而言,中情局應該受到表揚而不是批評。”切尼這一高漲情緒受到了前總統(tǒng)布什的贊揚。
GEORGE W. BUSH: These are patriots, and whatever the report says, if it diminishes their contributions to our country, it is way off base.
他們都是愛國者,無論報告說什么,如果否定了其對國家的貢獻將是非常錯誤的做法。
CARL AZUZ, CNN ANCHOR: A strongly divisive U.S. government report leads off our show this Wednesday. It involves controversial interrogation techniques used by the Central Intelligence Agency in the wake of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the U.S. The report was released yesterday by the Senate Intelligence Committee. Its job is to oversee and monitor the intelligence activities of the U.S. government.
In order to get information from terrorism suspects, the report says the CIA would deprive them of sleep, sometimes for days, sometimes in uncomfortable positions. It says some suspects were beaten, and some were water-boarded, when water is poured onto someone`s face and head to instill a fear of drowning.
Critics including President Obama called these methods torture and say they are ineffective in getting information. Defenders including the CIA called the methods effective and say they helped prevent terrorist attacks.
