Should evidence (solid or flimsy) gained by torture be used in courts against non-Americans?

or even Americans--who says they aren't pretending?
(Maybe torture them so they'll 'fess up to not being American.)

after the cease fire was declared in Korea, 5 Captured US airmen were released who signed confessions to acts that they never committed because they were tortured. This was the foundation for the military's position that torture does not yield reliable results. Furthermore, one of the documents used as evidence was a Korean diagram illustrating the method known as waterboarding. The same diagram was later used by the Bush administration in a field manual to demonstrate it's proper use for our people. To use evidence as reliable that was obtained via a method we denounce as unreliable is the apex of arrogance.


Dickn Cider
No. Confessions and/or "evidence" obtained through torture should not be used since past evidence obtained through torture is approx. 95% wrong.


melanieb1985
No, never.

You know what is going to be funny? When Nancy Pelosi, who denies knowing about waterboarding before AND APPROVING OF IT, is going to be dragged into court.

Let's get the trial started. I want all those libs that approved of the torture and authorized it, to tell the truth in court.

Big explosion, right in the Dems face. They always set themselves up.
