For the first time, George Bush has acknowledged the existence of secret CIA prisons around the world, where key terrorist suspects—100 in all, officials say—have been interrogated with "
an alternative set of procedures
". Fourteen of the suspects, including the alleged mastermind of the September 11th attacks, were transferred on Monday to the American naval base at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, where some will face trial for war crimes before special military commissions.
Many of these men—as Mr. Bush confirmed in a televised speech at the White House on September 6th—are al-Qaeda operatives or Taliban fighters who had sought to withhold information that could "save American lives". "In these cases, it has been necessary to move these individuals to an environment where they can be held secretly (and) questioned by experts," the president said. He
declined
to say where they had been held or why they had not simply been sent straight to Guantanamo, as some 770 other suspected terrorists have been.
Mr. Bush also refused to reveal what interrogation methods had been used, saying only that, though " tough", they had been " safe and lawful and necessary". Many believe that the main purpose of the CIA’s prisons was to hide from prying eyes the torture and other cruel or degrading treatment used to extract information from prisoners. But Mr. Bush insisted that America did not torture: " It’s against our laws, ami it’s against our values. I have not authorised it—and I will not authorise it."
The Pentagon this week issued its long-awaited new Army Field Manual, forbidding all forms of torture and degrading treatment of prisoners by army personnel—though not the CIA. For the first time, it specifically bans forced nakedness, hooding, the use of dogs, sexual humiliation and "waterboarding" (simulated drowning) —all practices that have been used at Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib.
So why did the president decide now to reveal the CIA’s secret programme? Partly, he confessed, because of the Supreme Court’s recent ruling that minimum protections under the Geneva Conventions applied to all military prisoners, no matter where they were. This has put American agents at risk of prosecution for war crimes. Mr. Bush has now asked Congress to ban suspected terrorists from suing American personnel in federal courts.
According to the text, the old Army Field Manual lacks______.
选项
A、some forms of degrading treatment of prisoners
B、the trials of time by the CIA
C、torture by army personnel in Abu Ghraib
D、specific ban on "water-boarding"
答案
D
解析
这是一道细节理解和推导题,测试考生对原文细节的整体准确把握和推导能力。本题的答案信息来源在倒数第二段的第一、二句,尤其是第二句。第二句的大意是:“新的军人战地手册第一次具体地明确禁止强迫性裸体、戴头罩、使用犬、性侮辱以及‘水牢’……。”由此可以推断本题的正确选项应该是D。考生在阅读时要重视逻辑推导能力的发挥和合理运用。
