re: #556 _RememberTonyC

Holder and President Obama have said waterboarding is torture.

Holder says (in effect) the case against KSM is a slam dunk.

But evidence obtained under torture is not admissable in our courts.

So Holder either feels he can convict KSM using inadmissable evidence, or there is a good chance much of the evidence against KSM will not be allowed to be presented to the jury.

This is NOT a slam dunk if that happens. And Holder can say that his boss the POTUS was not consulted about trying KSM in Federal Court, but that HAS to be a lie. So if KSM walks, the POTUS can fire Holder, but there is a really good chance that if KSM walks, we will fire the POTUS. Unless, of course the trial of KSM takes place after November 2012.

Another possibility is that there is additional admissible evidence that the Feds feel is sufficient to obtain a conviction.
