The Director of the CIA John Brennan has been defending his use of controversial interrogation techniques in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks on the United States. In a rare televised news conference, Mr. Brennan insisted that variable information was obtained from detainees use methods like water boarding, but he expressed regret about some of the techniques employed.
中情局局長約翰布倫南一直就自911恐怖襲擊事件之后中情局采用有爭議審訊手段提審犯人一事極力辯護。在罕見的一次電視發(fā)布會上,布倫南堅稱采用審訊手段可以獲得有價值情報,例如水刑。但是他表示審訊技術(shù)還存在不足。
“First of all, I certainly agree that there were times when CIA officers exceeded the policy guidance that was given and the authorized techniques that were approved and determined to be lawful. They were harsh as they said, in some instances, I consider them appalled. But for me, it was something that is certainly regrettable. But we are not a perfect constitution, we are made up of individuals, and as human beings, we are imperfect beings.”
首先,我認同有時候中情局官員行使方法不當,但是這些審訊手段已經(jīng)得到了授權(quán)批準為合法手段。他們稱強化審訊技術(shù)是殘酷的,我認為他們是被一些手段嚇壞了。對我來講外界刺耳的話語是令人傷心的。而我們也不是一個完美的機構(gòu),我們也是人,也會犯錯,也不完美。
Mr. Brennan was responding to a US Senate report that criticized the CIA’s interrogation techniques as brutal and ineffective. From Washington, XXX.
布倫南正在對美國參議院報告批評中情局審訊手段不僅殘忍而且沒有價值做出回應。下面是本臺記者從華盛頓發(fā)回的報道。
“It’s rare for a CIA director to appear before the media like this, but it was obvious John Brennan felt the report on the agency’s harsh interrogation methods after 9/11 haven’t been fair. That Senate report made two key accusations, firstly, that the White House hadn’t been told the extent of the use of torture techniques like water boarding, stress positions and sleep deprivation. Something Mr. Brennan said was untrue. But it was a second main assertion that he focused on, that these kind of interrogation methods didn’t lead to intelligence that helped save American lives. But again he challenged that saying some of the detainees subjected to these techniques did subsequently give leads that help thwart attacks and helped in the capture of Osama Bin Laden.”
中情局局長出現(xiàn)在媒體面前這一情況非常罕見,但是顯然布倫南認為對中情局自911襲擊案發(fā)生以來審訊手段做法提出批評一事對中情局不公平。參議院報告指出了兩個關(guān)鍵點,首先,白宮方面對使用水刑,痛苦姿勢和禁止睡眠等一系列酷刑并不知情。布倫南所說的話并不完全是真的。其次稱這些審訊手段并未帶來更多情報可以拯救美國人民性命。但是他又說審訊技術(shù)確實可以給中情局帶來情報信息,并且協(xié)助抓捕了恐怖分子本拉登。
Eyewitnesses in Nigeria say at least 30 people have been killed after twin bomb blast struck in XX market in the central city of Jos. Will Ross reports from XX.
尼日利亞目擊者稱喬斯市中心一家超市發(fā)生兩次爆炸,造成至少30人死亡。下面是本臺記者發(fā)回的報道。
“The two bombs went off in the center of Jos, in an area packed with people buying and selling wears in the street. Jos is a religiously mixed city in Nigeria’s middle belt, and suspected Boko Haram members have in recent years attacked churches there in what looks like an effort to spark interreligious clashes. The Jihadist group has been detonating several bombs each week in northern Nigeria, and although the security forces have managed to intercept some of them, the majority have been deadly suicide attacks. ”
兩起爆炸事件均發(fā)生在喬斯市人群聚集購買商品的街道。喬斯市尼日利亞中部地區(qū)宗教混合型城市,最近幾年有疑似博科圣地組織犯罪分子襲擊教會,試圖制造宗教爭端。伊斯蘭圣戰(zhàn)組織在尼日利亞北部每周都會引爆幾枚炸彈,盡管安全部隊已經(jīng)攔截了多名犯罪分子,但大多數(shù)人仍選擇自殺式人體襲擊。
