军事服务总教区负责人蒂莫西·布罗利奥总主教周一表示,他并不赞同特朗普政府决定直播对被判刑的福特胡德枪击案凶手尼达尔·马利克·哈桑执行军事处决,并警告称此举可能“模仿恐怖分子”。
Archbishop Timothy Broglio, head of the Archdiocese for the Military Services, on Monday said he does not approve of the Trump administration’s decision to livestream the military execution of convicted Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan, warning that it could "imitate the terrorists."
布罗利奥在军事服务总教区发布的一份声明中表示,他对福特胡德枪击案遇难者的家人和朋友深表同情,并提到他曾主持其中一名遇难者迈克尔·格兰特·卡希尔的葬礼。
Broglio said in a statement released by the Archdiocese for the Military Services that he sends his sympathy to the families and friends of Fort Hood shooting victims, noting that he presided over the funeral of one of those killed, Michael Grant Cahill.
他还补充说,他支持天主教会反对死刑的立场,“而教皇方济各更是将这一点表达得更为明确。”
He added that he sides with the Catholic Church's opposition to capital punishment, "and Pope Francis made it even clearer."
他继续说道:“第三,我们真的想要模仿这个世界的恐怖分子,将野蛮杀害敌人变成一场公开表演吗?”
"Thirdly, do we really want to imitate the terrorists of this world and make a public spectacle of barbarically killing our adversaries?" he continued.
“尼达尔·马利克·哈桑所犯下的罪行确实令人发指,但向公众公开他的处决过程是否有任何意义?”
"The crime committed by Nidal Malik Hasan was heinous, but does exposing the public to his execution serve any purpose?"
“执行枪决的士兵们可能遭受的道德伤害,是否已经被考虑过?”
"Has the potential moral injury, which the members of the firing squad might experience, been considered?"
布罗利奥质问道。
Broglio inquired.
“在我们独立250周年纪念年期间,向年轻且容易受影响的群体直播处决画面,其后果是否还能弥补?”
"Will the exposure of a livestream to the young and impressionable during the 250th anniversary year of our independence be able to be repaired?"
他问道:“将一名坐轮椅的男子的处决画面向全世界播出,是否会让美国军队‘与恐怖分子同流合污’,这种做法有任何‘价值’吗?”
He asked if there was any "value" in having the U.S. military thrown "in the same boat with terrorists by broadcasting the image of the execution of a man in a wheelchair to the whole world."
“这一决定是否体现了人的尊严?”
"Does this decision reflect the dignity of the human person?"
布罗利奥在呼吁服役人员停止直播,并敦促天主教籍的枪决执行人员“请求免除参与这一违背教会教义的行动”前如此说道。
Broglio said before calling on service members to stop the livestream and urging Catholic members of the firing squad "to request to be excused from this action contrary to the teaching of the church."
当《国会山报》就布罗利奥的言论提问时,五角大楼转引了国防部长皮特·赫格塞思针对CBS新闻关于直播处决的社交媒体帖子所作出的回应。
When asked by The Hill about Broglio's remarks, the Pentagon referred to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's response to a CBS News social media post about the execution being livestreamed.
他的简短回应是:“正确。”
His short response reads: "Correct."
赫格塞思周四宣布,前美国这名陆军少校的处决过程将被直播,并向公众开放。
Hegseth on Thursday announced that the former U.S. Army major's execution will be streamed and open to the public for viewing.
处决定于12月3日(星期四)进行——这一天正是哈桑策划袭击的同一天。
The execution falls on Dec. 3, a Thursday, the same day of the week Hasan had planned his attack.
处决地点也是胡德堡(Fort Hood),赫格塞斯(Hegseth)表示。
It will also be held at Fort Hood, Hegseth said.
这一决定引发了广泛的谴责。
The announcement drew condemnation over its publicity.
民主党和共和党议员都敦促五角大楼撤销这一决定;参议员凯文·克莱默(Kevin Cramer,共和党,来自北达科他州)警告称,这种公开直播的行为可能会加剧极端主义情绪。
Democratic and Republican lawmakers urged the Pentagon to reverse its decision, with Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) warning that the stream could potentially fuel radicalization.
国土安全部部长马克韦恩·穆林(Markwayne Mullin)为这一决定辩护,他在CBS新闻的《Face the Nation》节目中表示:“这是特朗普总统‘恢复美国价值观’的一部分。”
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin defended the choice, saying on Sunday that it is part of President Trump "restoring American values."
他还驳斥了那些担心这种公开直播会助长极端主义的观点,称:“我认为人们必须明白:如果你们攻击美国,我们一定会追究你们的责任,并确保惩罚与罪行相称。”
He dismissed concerns that it could fuel radicalization.
穆林补充道:“我对这名罪犯毫无同情之心,也完全不在乎他将以何种方式死去。
"I think people need to understand, if you attack America, we will come after you, and we will make sure that the punishment fits the crime," Mullin said on CBS News’s "Face the Nation."
”
"I have no sympathy for him, and I give absolutely zero thought to the way that this man dies."
