re: #144 J.S.

Frankly, I really don’t see how the prosecution will be able to put forward any evidence…(imo, all these cases could be quickly dismissed due to “lack of evidence.”)..the “confessions” are obviously “not admissible”; you can’t put forward classified info from informants (you jeopardize their safety); and hearsay isn’t good enough either. So, where’s the evidence?

Are you serious? Are you familiar with the discovery phase of a trial?

Frankly, this is the likely reason for the whole trial. The judge will force the government to give up information on interrogation, want to haul in soldiers/CIA that detained this guy, get classified documents on what Bush & Cheney had to say about this guy, etc… Now the administration can say, “Hey - we didn’t want to give out this info, but the court demands it of us!”

Now follow me here… regardless of the outcome of the trial, radical-left lawyers will have the red meat from this discovery to go to the international courts. They will find a friendly court at some point that will be happy to start a show trial against soldiers, CIA, maybe they’ll even be so bold to attempt to go after Bush/Cheney. It’s not going to be pretty.

I don’t care how you feel about the last administration, this is a bad precedent period. It could end up biting this administration in the behind down the road…
