SUBJECT: US SUPREME COURT RULING ON GUANTANAMO; US-PERUVIAN FTA; 
STATUS OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY WAYNE'S NOMINATION AS AMBASSADOR TO 
ARGENTINA; 06/30/06; BUENOS AIRES 
 
 
1. SUMMARY STATEMENT 
 
Local papers lead with the US Supreme Court declaring that military 
tribunals created after the September 11 attacks violated the Geneva 
Convention; US Congressional ratification of the Peru FTA; and the 
US Senate's alleged confirmation of Earl Anthony Wayne as Ambassador 
to Buenos Aires, Argentina. 
 
2. OPINION PIECES AND KEY STORIES 
 
- "US Supreme Court inflicts harsh blow to Bush due to Guantanamo 
prisoners" 
 
Ana Baron, Washington-based correspondent for leading "Clarin," 
comments (06/30) "In one of the toughest blows to the USG, the US 
Supreme Court stated yesterday that the military courts created by 
US President George W. Bush to judge detainees in Guantanamo are 
violating domestic legislation and the Geneva Convention... 
 
"... During a joint press conference with Japanese PM Junichiro 
Koizumi, (US President) Bush did not let the US Supreme Court's 
decision intimidate him. He said 'The US people should know that 
this ruling, as I understand it, does not mean that murderers will 
be released... I will protect the people and, at the same time, I 
will abide by the US Supreme Court's decision.'" 
 
- "Definitions" 
 
Leading "Clarin" reports in a side-box (06/30) "This new US Supreme 
Court's decision will put a brake on the White House's plan to use 
military courts to judge some of the detainees in the Guantanamo 
base. 
 
"What judges decided is that Bush has no power to decide in those 
trials. 
 
"The ruling itself would not change, at least in the short run, the 
USG's power to keep the alleged terrorists in prison. It rather 
implies a definition about how they should be judged as long as the 
White House makes progress in this regard. This does not mean either 
that the Guantanamo base will be immediately closed, although it is 
clear that both the final use of the prison and the status of 
prisoners are now under strong international pressure." 
 
- "In a tunnel" 
 
Marcelo Cantelmi, international editor of leading "Clarin," opines 
(06/30) "This ruling could lead to profound change in the Bush 
administration's style, although it will not happen. However, some 
weak points might be seen in the White House's tendency to disregard 
legislation, domestic and international rights and public freedoms. 
 
 
"All this is based on the excuse of the war on terrorism, which is 
being waged in Iraq (where, in fact, there was no terrorism but a 
dictator and a former ally of Washington). 
 
"That weak point is an outgrowth of the public's fatigue with this 
unjustified campaign, the disaster in the (Persian) Gulf with a hint 
of defeat, and the mounting suspicion over the USG's espionage 
plans. This is why, justice, as well as the media, are turning 
against the USG..." 
 
- "The US Supreme Court of Justice inflicts a harsh blow to Bush 
over Guantanamo" 
 
Business-financial "Ambito Financiero" reports (06/30) "Yesterday, 
the US Supreme Court of Justice inflicted its toughest blow to the 
Bush administration since the start of the war on terrorism by 
declaring 'illegal' the special military courts created to judge 
detainees in the Guantanamo base. 
 
"... For 5 votes in favor vis-`-vis one vote against it, the US 
Supreme Court stated that antiterrorist courts violate the Geneva 
Convention... although it did not make a decision about the legality 
of the unlimited imprisonment of Guantanamo detainees." 
 
- "In view of a possible judicial decision" 
 
Leading "Clarin" carries an opinion piece by Leandro Despouy, 
Argentine General Auditor and UN Special Rapporteur, who opines 
(06/30) "... The report entrusted by the UN at the beginning of this 
year to five experts in human rights was direct. In it, the experts 
asked the USG to immediately close the base; subject all detainees 
to an independent and competent court, or release them; refrain from 
torturing them or inflicting inhuman or degrading treatment; and put 
 
 
an end to abusive interrogation practices. 
 
"... This ruling paves the way for a judicial solution to the 
problem faced by the US, whose Special Committees not only prevented 
the release of innocent prisoners but prevented the conviction of 
those who are liable." 
 
- "Washington pressures for an FTA with Peru" 
 
Daily-of-record "La Nacion" reports (06/30) "The USG urged yesterday 
the US Congress to approve 'now' an FTA with Peru as a US reward to 
Peru for defending the free market in recent elections. This 
happened one day after the Peruvian Congress approved the FTA in 
Lima. 
 
"During a hearing called by the US Senate Finance Committee, the new 
Assistant USTR for the Americas, Everett Eissenstat, said 'The time 
to act in support for this deal is now'... 'We could turn our back 
on Peru by rejecting this deal or we could take the opportunity and 
contribute to political stability in Peru and the Andean region.'" 
 
- "Strong (Peruvian) support for an FTA with the US" 
 
Business-financial, center-right "InfoBae" reports (06/30) 
"According to an opinion survey performed by Universidad Catolica, 
66 percent of Lima inhabitants favor an FTA between the US and Peru, 
one day after the Peruvian Congress' ratification of the deal. 
 
"According to the survey, only 20% of Lima's residents reject the 
deal, which still requires US Congressional approval. 
 
"48 percent of the people believe that the trade deal will be good 
or very good for the development of the Andean country. 29 percent 
believe the deal will be not so good, and 15 per cent believe it 
will be bad or very bad." 
 
- "The US Senate confirms Wayne" 
 
Ana Baron, Washington-based correspondent for leading "Clarin," 
comments (06/30) "... Yesterday, the US Senate confirmed the 
nomination of Ambassador Earl Anthony Wayne as US Ambassador to 
Argentina, who will arrive in the country in September... 
 
"Until then, Embassy number two Mike Matera will be in his place... 
 
"Wayne's agenda will be loaded with economic issues. While 
Venezuela, Bolivia and Cuba will remain important issues in the 
relationship, Wayne has said that he will prioritize the investment 
climate, bilateral trade expansion, and FTAA promotion. Then, he 
pointed out that he will insist that the Kirchner administration 
'should honor its commitments' on arbitrations related to the 
Argentina BIT with the US."
