From Sydney Morning Herald:

WASHINGTON: America's high security prison at Guantanamo Bay should be closed immediately and the military commissions scrapped, because they were harming the reputation of the US justice system, George Bush's former secretary of state has said.
Speaking on MSNBC's Meet the Press program on Sunday, Colin Po
well said it was time to move all inmates from the military prison in Cuba into the US justice system.
"We have shaken the belief the world had in the American justice system by keeping a place like Guantanamo open," Mr Powell said. " It's caused far more damage than anything we get from it."
Right on, General Powell.
