The critical question of whether the prisoner’s 2007 interrogations could be used at his capital trial has shadowed the case for years.

Complete shitshow.

    anyone who experienced similar detention and interrogations would understand this. Add to the physical torture the helpless detention that makes you realize you are not going anywhere with no end in sight.

    we have a real story few years ago that made the news and caused quite an uproar of a guy whose wife secretly left him and went to stay with a new friend of hers in another province. everyone knew they were fighting and her family opposed her divorce, so when she left she didn’t tell anyone and for almost two weeks didn’t answer her family or friends calls and ditched her phone after or something.
    The police showed him on the news admitting he killed , cut up and burned her body right here /pointing to burned ground in middle of a forest somewhere/ He was nodding and admitting to all that. “Yes sir I cut up her body” , “Yes sir I then burned her body right here.”

    Two weeks later Hallelujah lord and behold she raised up from the ashes and got back to life seen shopping in market in another city. He was so lucky to be alive with all limps attached and got out. I don’t want to link the actual video which is still on youtube to not dox myself xD

    It took the US 18 years to realize that confessions obtained under torture are null and void?

    18 years that the men was fighting for his life as they wanted to murder him based on that charge. This sham has been ongoing through the presidencies of Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden and now Trump again. If the US is ever to become a nation of basic human and civil rights for all and rule of law it needs to be reworked from the ground up.

      No, that part took a couple months, a year at the very most.

      What took 18 years was getting anyone with influence over the US military to acknowledge the obvious.

      Yup! It’s long past time to stop trying to fit a diverse and modern society into the notions of a bunch of rich white slave owners.
