    So... do you REALLY believe his defense attorney can bring up ANYTHING in open court? Really?
    The judge can't do anything about it? In U.S. Federal Courts... in the U.S?
    ...

    It all depends on the charges... implicit in the pre-meditated murder of 2,900 people is pretty heavy and tough to break. As for the water boarding... I don't think it even gets in as evidence. Probably the worst that happens is that confession they got out of the torture gets tossed. HOPEFULLY... our government (under President Bush) has more evidence on this guy that will put him away with some the scariest mother fuckers on the planet.
    But, this whole 'Platform for airing his greivences' is made up crap to scare us. McVeigh.. and American Citizen.. and decorated War Hero... was not allowed to read his list of grievences. Why does anyone think this guy will get this privilege? Will Judge Judy be presiding this court?
    ...
    and this fat fuck does not breath fire... or can raise an army of skeleton soldiers... or has a secret plan to get his light sabre back and break free. He is a fat fuck with (***HOPEFULLY Mr. Bush***) a mountain of evidence that places him in direct charge of the co-ordinated attack in 2001.

    I know I'm sounding paranoid, but this just feels like the beginning of the end... :(

    Do you think G.W. Bush wish be held accountable for any of this?

    Cosmo, your correct in your statement... don't have them face the Death Penalty, have them put in the general population in jail, and they'll be taken care of...

    Wish you were here...

    unfortunately no, him and his administration will be immune to prosecution for as long as they live... and like cosmo said, i doubt that any of the torture info will make it into the trial :(

    but if they confess and that confession was obtained under torture, doesn't that make that confession inadmissable??

    where the hell is soulsinging when we need him to answer that??

    and the moral of the story?

    why torture at all? why even go there? i thought civilized countries didn't condone it. whatever happened to using direct, conclusive evidence to get a conviction? if evidence exists (without resorting to torture), give them a fair trial, and if convicted , then sentence them to max security prisons. don't keep people locked up for years without charging them or granting them access to any sort of legal counsel. don't lie about things. no one has any right to detain someone for years without charges or a fair trial, and then years later let them go. oops sorry about that :?

    If there is no evidence, or if they are found innocent, set them free. don't resort to torture.

    somebody has to be untouched by corruption. somebody has to love the truth. right?
