Une intervention d’un haut fonctionnaire du Foreign Office concernant la question de l’\u00e9ventuelle fermeture de la prison de Guantanamo a marqu\u00e9 un durcissement notable de la position britannique. Cette fois, les r\u00e9f\u00e9rences sacr\u00e9es de la d\u00e9mocratie et, surprise, surprise, des relations anglo-am\u00e9ricaines sont mises en avant.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\tSelon The Independent<\/a> de ce jour: \u00ab The US camp at Guantanamo Bay should be closed before it undermines the cause of democracy worldwide, a Foreign Office minister has warned. The remarks by Kim Howells yesterday coincided with one of the most direct appeals yet by a high-ranking American figure for British support over Guantanamo Bay’s continued existence. <\/em>[…] Mr Howells, the minister in charge of British policy in the Middle East, warned: Our alliance with America is based on shared values. If those shared values are seen by the rest of the world to be terribly flawed that actually undermines the cause of democracy. If Guantanamo is undermining those shared values then it should go, it should close.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tCette attaque directe place les Britanniques dans une position d’exigence de la fermeture du camp vis-\u00e0-vis de leurs partenaires am\u00e9ricains. Guantanamo devient un sujet de discorde anglo-am\u00e9ricain, et selon ce qui semble \u00eatre une volont\u00e9 d\u00e9lib\u00e9r\u00e9e de la part des Britanniques. Cette position entre dans le cadre d’un climat g\u00e9n\u00e9ral d’une subtile (?) d\u00e9t\u00e9rioration des rapports USA-UK, tr\u00e8s visible par contre dans le cas du programme JSF<\/a>. Il y a manifestement une tactique britannique en marche. La question ouverte reste de savoir quel but strat\u00e9gique est poursuivi.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \tMis en ligne le 8 mars 2006 \u00e0 07H33<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Une intervention d’un haut fonctionnaire du Foreign Office concernant la question de l’\u00e9ventuelle fermeture de la prison de Guantanamo a marqu\u00e9 un durcissement notable de la position britannique.
