00 MONDAY, JANUARY 14, 2008 Joint Chiefs Chairman Wants Guantanamo Closed BY ROBERT BURNS The Associated Press with him on his first visit since becoming chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff last October. His visit came two days after the sixth anniversary of the prison's opening in January 2002. He stressed that a closure decision was not his to make and that he understands there are numerous complex legal questions the administration believes would have to be settled first, such as where to move prisoners. The admiral also noted that some of Guantanamo Bay's prisoners are deemed high security threats. During a tour of Camp Six, which is a high-security facility holding about 100 prisoners, Mullen got a firsthand look at some of the cells; one prisoner glared at Mullen through his narrow cell window as U.S.

officers explained to the Joint Chiefs chairman how they maintain almost-constant watch over each prisoner. Mullen, whose previous visit was in December 2005 as head of the U.S. Navy, noted that President Bush and Defense Secretary Robert Gates have also spoken publicly in favor of closing the prison. But Mullen said he is unaware of any active discussion in the administration about how to do it. become around the world, in terms of representing the United States." Critics have charged that detainees have been mistreated in some cases and that the legal conditions of their detentions are not consistent with the rule of law.

He said he was encouraged to hear from U.S. officers here that the prison population has shrunk by about 100 over the past year, to 277. At one time, the population exceeded 600. GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba The chief of the U.S. military said Sunday he favors closing the prison here as soon as possible because he believes negative publicity worldwide about treatment of terrorist suspects has been "pretty damaging" to the image of the United States.

"I'd like to see it shut down," Adm. Mike Mullen said in an interview with three reporters who toured the detention center "I'm not aware that there is any immediate consideration to closing Guantanamo Bay," Mullen said. Hundreds have been returned to their home countries, but U.S. officials say some are such serious security threats that they cannot be released for the foreseeable future. Only four are currently facing military trials after being formally charged with crimes.

Asked why he thinks Guantanamo Bay, commonly dubbed Gitmo, should be closed, and the prisoners perhaps moved to U.S. soil, Mullen said, "More than anything else it's been the image how Gitmo has "I believe that from the standpoint of how it reflects on us that it's been pretty damaging," Mullen said, speaking in a small boat that ferried him to and from the detention facilities across a glistening bay. C4 ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL Freed Hostage Reunited With Son PM Criticizes Settlements Bogota, where he has been for the past two years. nied by her aging mother Nigtop, and brother, Rojas returned to ROJAS: Son, Bogota on now 3, taken Sunday nearly from her at six years after 8 months she was kidnapped by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, and held captive in the jungle. On Thursday, the FARC handed over Rojas and another kidnapped politician, former congresswoman Consuelo Gonzalez, to a Venezuelan-led delegation, which then moved the hostages to Caracas.

The meeting between mother and son lasted about two hours. Neighbors flocked to greet her at the house where Emmanuel has been staying in recent days in preparation to be reunited with his mother. "Freedom!" some shouted. Rojas earlier said Emmanuel made her a gift. "I have heard that he has made a little something for me," she said.

Rojas was visibly emotional as she arrived in Bogota and was greeted by the defense minister and chief peace negotiator. "I am extremely moved to be back in my land. I feel like I've been reborn, I am back to life," Rojas said. But she added: "This is not a total happiness because many (hostages) remain and we are waiting for them." Woman Held 6 Years in Jungle BY CARLOS ALBERTO GONZALEZ The Associated Press BOGOTA, Colombia Recently released Colombian hostage Clara Rojas was reunited Sunday with her 3-year-old son, who was fathered by one of her guerrilla captors but taken from her months after he was born. Rojas gave birth to Emmanuel in 2004, but the guerrillas separated her from the child when he was 8 months old.

A peasant delivered him to Colombian social services, which unaware of his true identity placed him in the foster home in the capital, At a news conference last week in Jerusalem with Olmert, Bush said, "Look, I mean, we've been talking about it for four years. The agreement was, 'Get rid of outposts, illegal and they ought to The Settlers Council issued a statement warning Olmert not to forcefully evict them again. In his speech Sunday, Abbas said, "We told President Bush that we can't move ahead in negotiations while settlement activities are going on. We can't have negotiations while they are building houses all over." Abbas criticized the Hamas-led Gaza regime for allowing rockets to be fired into Israel but said the rocket fire hurts the Palestinians more than they Israelis, who keep demanding that Abbas take action to stop it. A Hamas statement denounced Abbas' speech as "full of lies and fabrications." Settlers started putting up outposts across the West Bank after Israel reached its initial peace accords with the Palestinians in the early 1990s, in an effort to break up territory the Palestinians want for a state.

involved in rocket fire at Israel. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said Sunday negotiating teams would begin tackling the "core issues," including borders, Jerusalem and Palestinian refugees, at their meeting on Monday. Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev confirmed that teams would begin discussing those issues. "If we reach an agreement on all these issues, then we can say that we have reached a final agreement," Abbas said in a speech in the West Bank city of Ramallah, adding that a peace treaty must resolve disputes over all the issues. Israeli settlements are high on the Palestinian agenda.

They consider all the settlements, not just the unauthorized outposts, to be illegal encroachment on their land. In February 2006, just weeks after taking office, Olmert sent police to tear down nine unauthorized homes in the Amona outpost, sparking violent clashes with settlers. In the two years since, he has taken no serious action against outposts. Researchers Grow a Beating Israeli Outposts Called a 'Disgrace' BY ARON HELLER The Associated Press JERUSALEM Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Sunday declared it a "disgrace" that dozens of unauthorized West Bank settlements were standing four years after Israel promised to dismantle them, following pointed criticism from President Bush. In a meeting with political allies, Olmert used the harsh word "disgrace" to show his determination to implement his obligations under the "road map," the 2003 plan that serves as the basis for renewed peace negotiations, according to a participant.

The "road map" plan calls for Israel to halt settlement construction and take down unauthorized outposts built after March 2001, and for the Palestinians to dismantle violent groups. In violence late Sunday, Israeli aircraft blasted a car in Gaza City, killing two militants, one from a group linked to Hamas and the other to Fatah, Palestinians said. The Israeli military said the two targeted militants were DEATHS FUNERALS INDEX Ares, Nick Broderick, Thomas Francis Del Castillo, Adelina Hoisington, Betty Jones, Hank Kauk, Darlene Marie Knighten, Archie Alice Kuhn, Werner H.
