re: #732 Sharmuta

It just affects the status of the evidence used to prove his guilt.

This is where we start getting into trouble. If the court allows the evidence obtained through waterboarding, which they shouldn’t, what repercussions does that have?

What about the treatment before his trial? Do you think American citizens should be allowed to be kept in such conditions as he was kept in?

And that is one of the reasons we never should have tortured in the first place.

Fortunately we have enough evidence on him that was not taken from torture to obtain a conviction. The move is to reject torture in the courts and still see justice done. It makes us back into the good guys and it still serves justice. We can only kill him once. It really does not matter if it is for one murder or another.
