Live From Guantanamo: Military Prosecutors Seek Death for 9/11 Suspects

Again, from the "Washington Post"

"The Pentagon announced today that it has charged six detainees at the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, military prison with conspiring to carry out the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and that military prosecutors will seek the death penalty for each.

Ok. Well, I'm not going into what many said when I was up in NY/Jersey about the Trade Center, (however if you're reading this please feel free to do so yourself), but sure, for causing the death of all of those people, death. Not to mention the horrible aftermath for families, the pittance the Gov't gave to them, the disease all the firefighters at the scene caught. They even say:

""There will be no secret trials," he said. "Every piece of evidence, every stitch of evidence, every whiff of evidence that goes to . . . the military tribunal will be reviewed by the accused, subject to confrontation, subject to cross- examination, subject to challenge. . . ."

BUT

"But Hartmann declined to answer questions about the admissibility of evidence obtained against Mohammed by waterboarding, a technique that the CIA has acknowledged using to extract information from him and from two other al-Qaeda members who are not among those charged today. The technique, which simulates drowning, has been widely described as torture."

Hmmm...that's what they did during the witch hysteria that swept Europe too. Got lots of confessions in the Inquisition. NOT the judge here. Just saying, confession under torture is dubious at best. Why not just break out an iron maiden?
