Now all they have to do is prove that they're not simply copy catting or being false martyars. Lots of people under pressure will lie and others will lie for the reaction. If anyone thinks that we should take what they say as gold, then tell that to our court system which isn't allowed to invent evidence. It's called the burden of proof. If we had abided by it, we wouldn't have invaded iraq.

After 3 years of torture you could get them to confess to anything, this means nothing, confessions under torture are not legal evidence.

Still, as long as they get it in the news, everyone believes it and doesnt ask any questions, job done.

The ACLU can say whatever they want, but until the Govt withdraws the charges the progress of the case is dictated solely by the military judge. Three distinct branches of govt, you know?

Torture me enough, and I'll write a paper claiming I take pride in planning 9/11, too.

We know the truth.
