U.S. urged interrogators to destroy notes

[Quote:]

The Pentagon urged interrogators at Guantanamo Bay to destroy handwritten notes in case they were called to testify about potentially harsh treatment of detainees, a military defense lawyer said Sunday.

The lawyer for Toronto-born Omar Khadr, Lt. Cmdr. William Kuebler, said the instructions were included in an operations manual shown to him by prosecutors and suggest the U.S. deliberately thwarted evidence that could help terror suspects defend themselves at trial.

There are probably real terrorists at Guantanamo, but any guilty verdict has no legitimacy left.

There are certainly real terrorists at Guantanamo - they’re running the place.

I’d like to see a politician who promised to introduce Constitutional Amendments 28 through 37, which would just be copies of Amendments 1 through 10, each one with the phrase “…and we’re not fucking kidding this time.” tacked on to the end.
