Pentagon's reversal of Gitmo plea deal reveals long shadow of torture and constitutional evasion - - via Washington Times by Judge Nap
MY SAY: Judge, "unpopular defendants?" KSM et al, are TERRORISTS who ADMITTED plotting 9/11. You sound an awful lot like an Islamist apologist. Blunders of law notwithstanding, Gitmo is the finest military detention facility on earth. ICRC physicians I worked with there in 2002 told me, "No one does [detention operations] better than the US." Only a handful of Gitmo detainees were waterboarded (which was legal and approved at the time and did not meet the internationally accepted definition of torture at the time) in order to obtain valuable information that saved many lives.
