One has to wonder what makes us different than al Qaeda or any other terrorist group when we stoop to their methods. Just HOW much can anyone trust what a tortured person says? I, for one, wouldn't put two cents on the information, after all, torture me and I'll tell you anything you want to hear and I'll make up what I don't know just to make it stop.
bush has turned my beloved country into the bad guys we are so afraid of. I despise him and his family. Power hungry, greedy bastards! They have put this nation in the toilet. And don't give me that crap about defending our freedoms, bush has done more to erase those freedoms than any other President. If history is true it will put him down as the WORST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY. My disgust and contempt for the man knows no bounds. I am grateful for the knowledge of KARMA. I know he will have to pay for what he has done, as a man and as a president, even if Congress and the Senate remain the gutless wonders they are now.
There is so much evidence against bush as a war criminal and cheney too. But, being the wealthy and powerful that they are they seem to be above the laws that you and I MUST obey. Ya, some shining examples here don'tcha think? But he would have us believe he is a Christian! LMAO! Christ would NEVER have done the things these men have done.
Factsheet: Military Commissions
On November 13, 2001, President Bush issued an executive order which purported to establish military commissions to try those captured in the “War on Terror.” Under the order, the President authorized trials by military commission upon a presidential determination that there was “reason to believe” a detainee is or was an Al Qaeda member or engaged in hostilities targeting the United States. The order narrowed the scope of procedural protections for military commissions relative to the traditional courts-martial process, sharply limited the avenues for review of commission decisions, and granted discretion to “close” any portion of the proceeding and thereby exclude the accused from access to relevant evidence or the hearing itself. Furthermore, the order allowed for the admission of coerced statements or statements made by absent or undisclosed sources.

I quote Vincent Warren here,
The United States has nothing legitimate to gain from prosecuting prisoners in military commissions at Guantanamo and a great deal to lose.
What kind of a nation have we become that we would rely on torture evidence, secret trials and an untested and deeply flawed system to impose the death penalty?
Our nation must abandon the failed experiment at Guantanamo. If the administration believes Mr. Al Qahtani has committed a crime, he should be charged and tried in a lawful proceeding worthy of our country.
Sincerely,
Vincent Warren
Executive Director
