More on torture....

[MikeWaters]

Arch, here are some more examples of people that could have potentially been tortured, where the govt. said they were bad, bad people.....and it looks like they were wrong.

1. they guy who was a professor in Florida. Just acquitted of all major charges, and the jury deadlocked on the others. He was accused of being a "aid and support" type ringleader in the US for a palestinian terrorist org.

2. Yee. The chaplain in Gitmo.

3. The guy at Los Alamos, accused of espionage.

4. another example - richard jewel, olympic park bombing. Ask him how he feels about the govt's judgement.

5. Even the dirty bomber brings up questions. First he was going to blow up a dirty bomb. Then mysteriously, about a year ago, the govt. says "well he was going to blow up some apartments." No dirty bomb. And now, to try and prevent the supreme court from reviewing the case, he is indicted on charges related to neither. The reason they say the charges are unrelated is that they want to protect methods/sources. Well, call me a little skeptical.

6. German guy was kidnapped by the US govt., beaten, taken to Afghanistan, and held in clandestine prison. Many months later, govt. admitted mistaken identity, and released him. Now, with the ACLU, he is suing the govt.

This hardly sounds like a system that gets it right everytime.
