Just the need to ensure that no more folks are tortured is enough reason for the suit to go forward.

Even it it is dismissed the information that comes out would have to be beneficial. If Obama is too timid to say find out who broke the law and when and then prosecute, That alone leaves the door open for more of the same in the future.

My America does not torture, and does not tolerate those that do, and does not send "prisoners" to other locations that do. Not now, not in the future when as a Nation we are again scared, not ever!!!

Yoo was a Cheney flunky hired to provide cover for illegal acts, both before and after the fact.
They played Bush like a fiddle and he was only too willing to be played.

If the trails go ahead and the government is required to provide evidence and THERE IS NONE, then we will know that the whole war and detentions are a sham and the executive branch's limitations will be spelt out in case law rather than just legal opinions.
