Guantánamo Prosecutors Accused of “Outrageous” Misconduct for Trying to Use Torture Testimony

The CIA tortured Rabbani for more than 540 days, according to the Senate torture report. The torture included a stint in a covert American black site in Afghanistan.

Rabbani has described being held in complete darkness for long periods and being subjected to a medieval torture technique known as “strappado”: hanging someone by their bound arms and suddenly dropping them.

I’d say anything to make that stop. Torture testimony is completely invalid. Bush was a sick fuck.

Obama closed the facility upon taking office in 2009, but there are still 30 men detained for 9/11 related crimes with no path for resolution.

Torture makes everything unreliable...

It's why it's not used to get information, it's used to make a population feel like resistance is futile.

Speak out and get disappeared.

Years later their family finding out they "confessed" is to remind them their loved one didn't just die, they e been being held and tortured against international law until they've been broken into a shell of their former selves...

Now everyone forget that the "good guys" were in office while this happened. So we can elect them again and nothing will fundamentally change.
