“英国可与基地组织展开谈判”
http://news.bbc.co.uk/chinese/simp/hi/news...900/7426932.stm

英国北爱尔兰警方负责人奥尔德提出，仅凭对抗不能消除恐怖主义，英国不应该排除将来与基地组织谈判的可能性。

奥尔德是英国级别最高的警方官员之一，他在接受英国《卫报》采访时指出，与基地组织谈判并非超乎想象，而只是一个时间问题。

奥尔德表示，北爱尔兰警方30年来应对爱尔兰共和军的经验证明，仅靠军警是无法击败恐怖主义的。

但是他指出，要实现让敌对组织主动走上谈判桌的目标，仍然需要严密防备以及对恐怖活动参与者进行严厉的处罚。

他指出，爱尔兰共和军是在意识到他们的暴力活动不会取得任何结果后才进入与英国政府的谈判的，而且也正因此，他们在谈判过程中保持了较为注重实际的态度。

奥尔德还提到他在2004年与新芬党领袖亚当斯的会面，并指出，北爱警方与共和军以及新芬党曾是死对头，但事实证明对头也可能成为和平进程中的合作伙伴。

奥尔德并非首位提出英国未来可能该考虑与基地组织进行谈判的当局高级人物。

前首相幕僚长博威尔在3月曾提出，未来英国政府可能有必要与基地组织进行谈判。

博威尔曾在北爱和平进程中出力，他表示，英国政府不会与任何仍在积极试图通过暴力手段达到其目的的组织对话。

Britain 'could talk to al-Qaeda'

Sir Hugh Orde says talking to al-Qaeda means 'thinking the unthinkable'
The UK should not rule out talking to al-Qaeda in a strategy to end its campaign of violence, according to one of the country's most senior policemen.

Police Service of Northern Ireland chief Sir Hugh Orde told the Guardian talking to al-Qaeda was not unthinkable but "a question of timing".

He said 30 years tackling the IRA had taught him that policing alone was not enough to defeat terrorism.

The government has already rejected suggestions it negotiate with al-Qaeda.

Tough enforcement

Sir Hugh said it was important to maintain tough law enforcement against those involved in terrorist activity and that this would help bring them to the negotiating table.

He said IRA members had entered into negotiations with "a certain pragmatism" after realising their violent approach "wasn't ever going to work".

Sir Hugh cited his 2004 meeting with Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams as an example of how one-time opponents can become partners in a peace process.

It is not the first time that senior establishment figures have raised the prospect of negotiations with al-Qaeda.

In March, former Downing Street chief of staff Jonathan Powell said that at some point in the future it might be necessary to start talks with the group.

Mr Powell, who helped broker the peace agreement in Northern Ireland, said the deal showed such negotiations could work.

At the time, the Foreign Office rejected the suggestion, saying the government would not talk to any group actively promoting its aims through violence.

Sir Hugh is regarded by some as a front-runner to be the next commissioner of the Metropolitan Police.

yufu：我提个建议行不行？ 对待这样的文章，最好给出英文原文，有时侯翻译并不准确，我个人是倾向就原文讨论，不然引来引去容易误差太多。

最后向各位暂别一下，我拖家带口回国FB去了，祝大家夏安，继续讨论。

听你的意见加上了。祝你玩好
