re: #736 LudwigVanQuixote

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.

But who in the Hell would have thought, at the time, that these guys would end up in court? No reasonable person could ever have foreseen the election of a President whose AG decided to move some but not all of these cases to federal court. The very idea was laughably naive at the time.
