US rejects Red Cross call for access to all terror
suspects
AFP - 12-9-05

WASHINGTON - The United States rejected a fresh call
by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)
for full access to terror suspects, saying some of
those detained were "exceptional" and posed "unique
threats" to US security. The ICRC on Friday sought
access to all detainees held by the United States in
the campaign against terror groups, including those
allegedly held in "secret prisons" abroad. The group
is at present allowed to visit detainees held at the
US military base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, under an
internationally recognized legal mandate to oversee
the fair treatment of detainees captured in conflicts.
