Europe can close Guantánamo

In a statement released on October 20 the Basque terrorist organisation announces that it has given up violence. Declaring a “permanent cessation of armed activity”, ETA asks the Spanish and French governments to “open a process of direct dialogue” to seek a solution for “the consequences of conflict.” The Spanish press hails an event that ends 40 years of terror. 
The peace conference in San Sebastian, October 17, called on ETA to end terrorist activities without demanding unconditional surrender. As shown by the peace process in Northern Ireland, some concessions are necessary if we really want peace. 
We have spent the years since the attacks on US soil focusing on the terrorist threat and wars in Afganistan and Iraq. But we have been blind to the real global change : the slow but unstoppable rise of China, writes Timothy Garton Ash. 
In the fight against terror, writes the Düsseldorfer Handelsblatt, America stands alone. Europe, preoccupied with how it can withdraw from Afghanistan, should be ashamed of its inaction. 
Symbolic as the death of the al-Qaeda leader is, it does not mark the end of the fight against terrorism, nor of its consequences for our way of life, writes Le Monde. 
Yesterday the energy saving lamp, today data retention. Tomorrow: recording your frequent flyer points and what hotel you stay in. Its highly questionable and intrusive meddling is costing the EU the trust of the public. 
Victim of the accidental fall on its soil of four American nuclear bombs in 1966, Palomares in Spain is trying to make a fresh start and to get back onto the tourist trail by opening a museum. But a question remains: what to do with the irradiated earth? 
Terrorism, immigration, the economy: for Europeans, the wave of revolts that have shaken the Arab world is fraught with dangers that are not altogether clear. El País has tried to unravel truth from falsehood. 
A few months after Angela Merkel controversially argued that the multicultural society in Germany had “utterly failed”, David Cameron’s 5 February speech echoing the Chancellor’s sentiments has revived the debate about national identity in the British press. 
On 3 October, the United States, followed by the United Kingdom, warned its citizens of the “high threat” of a terror attack in Europe. The Independent wonders if such alerts aren’t creating an unwelcome climate of fear. 
Following the leak to the international press of over 90,000 documents related to the war in Afghanistan, there is precious little evidence that the country is stabilising. The west might do well to abandon its counter-insurrection strategy there, and focus instead on counter-terrorism. 
At the nuclear security summit in Washington DC on 12/13 April, Barack Obama did not grant Van Rompuy a one-on-one interview, which confirms the European Council president’s lack of international recognition. But we need to remain indulgent for the time being, advises De Standaard. 
One year after Barack Obama announced his intention to dismantle Guantánamo, 198 prisoners still remain at the notorious detention centre. Colm O'Gorman in the Irish Times argues that Europe, having facilitated extraordinary rendition flights and CIA secret detention centres, made Guantánamo possible, and must open its doors to former detainees.
