Waterboarding

[Venom]

Reading all this a question comes to my mind: What if the CIA or who'ever is in charge got the wrong guy?

If one is running around, ready to bomb away a kindergarten and has deposit his package somewhere, well - shit on his rights and make him talk!
But hundreds or even thousands of innocent people has been abducted and interrogated. Known to be innocent because after some month(!) the US has declared them innocent and set them free. I don't think they let terrorists go...

True but as I understand it they are saying ALL peole in US custody are intitled to certain human rights, that does not mean I agree with it, but they are bound by the Geneva Convnetion regadless of if they are Terrorits or not
And there hav been claim and harges that those at Gitmo are protected by the Gevena Convnetion, Not sayingthis is right or wron,g only what has been said plus because others Torture people does not mean it is ok for the United States to do so, and if they do, who knows if any info they get is even credable?? most people who face this will say what ever they need to to end the treatment be what they say is valid or not
Like someone being abused by their local police, they may confess, but did they confess because they were gulity or because they wanted the abuse to end

look over the last few years how many gulity people have been freed because thier "forced" confessions were determined to have been given under duress a forced confesion is torutre to some extent
