Re: Chancellor Merkel calls for closure of Guantan (none / 0)

but in late 2001, she was not in office. IMO, what counts is what she says as Chancellor.

Re: Chancellor Merkel calls for closure of Guantan (none / 0)

OK, you meant that, then I'm most probably behind the news: did she say something significant about Iraq as chancellor? I read something before or after Christmas about vehemently denied claims of a German deployment to Iraq, but nothing more.

Re: Chancellor Merkel calls for closure of Guantan (none / 0)

no, I only meant her position on Guantanamo. Not on Iraq. Concerning Iraq, I can not remember her saying anything that implied a policy shift from Schröder's position. Which means: German troops stay out of Iraq, but they train Iraqi police in Kuwait; and vessels of the marine fleet patrol the western Indian Ocean along the Somalian coast.
