Mr. Speaker, the context is that on Friday, Mr. Rumsfeld said that they would not respect the Geneva convention. On Saturday, Mr. Powell said the opposite, and President Bush must make a decision on January 28.
If there is something that is clear, it is that things were not clear in the U.S. administration.
At that point, did something click in the head of the Minister of National Defence? He said “We have prisoners and an agreement that is not clear for the Americans. I should inform the Prime Minister”. Did he inform him, yes or no, or is he pretending he did not? Where is the truth?
