    It took the US 18 years to realize that confessions obtained under torture are null and void?

    18 years that the men was fighting for his life as they wanted to murder him based on that charge. This sham has been ongoing through the presidencies of Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden and now Trump again. If the US is ever to become a nation of basic human and civil rights for all and rule of law it needs to be reworked from the ground up.

      No, that part took a couple months, a year at the very most.

      What took 18 years was getting anyone with influence over the US military to acknowledge the obvious.

      Yup! It’s long past time to stop trying to fit a diverse and modern society into the notions of a bunch of rich white slave owners.

    Torture must immediately void any result obtained. It is not reliable or something that should ever be rewarded unless its Putin and he’s kept nice and safe and quiet altho visible and everyone does that stupid smirk of his while he’s being quatered and pulled 4 diferent directions (after he’s had the chance to furiously protest the gentle impalement that has to be done)

    He honestly needs to be crucimpaled as a lesson to the next gangster who thinks they can pull that shit long term and be unscathed. Russia be fucking with the wrong hegemonic superiors
