Stephen Vladeck, an associate professor of law at American University in Washington, said closing the war-on-terror prison was a good goal to aspire to... but that only begs the question about what you are going to do with the people who are still held there.

Catalonia s parliament on Thursday rejected a move to ban the wearing of the Islamic burqa in public places across the Spanish region after reversing an initial vote. HT Image A resolution moved by conservatives and centre-right nationalists was passed, but opponents said there had been a technical error and some absentees at the moment of the
air max vote. After the session was suspended, the parliamentary speaker ordered the vote to be put again, prompting a walk-out by the motion s supporters and a victory for its left-wing opponents. The motion would have called on the government of the northeastern region to ban the Islamic women s garment which conceals all but the eyes, in the street as well as in public buildings. Right-wing deputy Rafael Lopez said it was a question of values, of voicing opposition to clothing which he said kept women in a degrading prison. Left-wingers said they did not approve the wearing of the burqa but called the motion politically-motivated with regional elections coming up this year. Nine municipalities in Catalonia, including Barcelona, have banned the use of face-covering Islamic veils in public or are considering doing so. Human rights group Amnesty International had called on the Catalan deputies to reject the motion.
