Now Bush answers a question on Guantanamo. Merkel wants more judicial control, like a tribunal. The President says there won´t be changes and maintain the camps, "in which the people are treated in a human manner".
Merkel: "We openly talked about this issue. I share the perceiption of the danger going out of terrorism. We need to think about the way we want to treat terrorists. I wished the UN would be a place to discuss such things, which isn´t right now. ... I see a common base on which we can talk the questionable details, and that is good."
Thanks for the thread, Michael. It seems that the President has more differences with the press corps than he does with Chancellor Merkel.
This is an amazing statement from a German leader. And she is correct.
