Defending torture and the right to illegal incarceration

US President George W Bush has rejected criticism over the Guantanamo Bay camp raised by German Chancellor Angela Merkel during talks in Washington.

President Bush said it was a necessary part of protecting the American people.

The two leaders discussed a range of subjects - from the Balkans and the Middle East to the Iraq war - which had strained relations between the US and Germany in recent years.

"We openly addressed that there sometimes have been differences of opinion, and I mentioned Guantanamo in this respect," Ms Merkel told the press conference afterwards.

The BBC's Jonathan Beale, in Washington, said that after more than three hours of discussions, Ms Merkel had clearly developed a far better working relationship with President Bush than her predecessor Gerhard Schroeder ever did.

Referring to Ms Merkel's Eastern European background, Mr Bush said it was "uplifting" to have spoken to someone who had lived through tyranny and understood the need for freedom.

He should get to Guantanamo more.

1. Send Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al to Gitmo ...

Sounds drastic, but "... it's a necessary part of protecting the American people."
