Former US Secretary of State Colin Powell has called for the immediate closure of the US military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Speaking on US television, Mr Powell said detainees held there should be transferred to prisons in the US.
He also called for the abolition of the military tribunal system, saying terror suspects should face trial under existing US federal laws.
In 2003, Mr Powell made the case for the war against Iraq to the UN.
