I do not mean to suggest that the Justices decided the Guantanamo Bay case as they did so that they would be toasted at their international cocktail parties. I contend that their concern for world opinion-if that concern played the role I am suggesting it did-was for their country, not for themselves.
我并不是在暗示高院法官们如此裁定关塔纳摩湾一案是为了博得国际同僚的赞许。我坚持认为他们对国际舆论的考虑-如果这种考虑如我所料地影响了他们的判决的话-也是为了国家利益而不是个人得失。
