It seems like everyone was tortured at Guantanamo...why were so few convicted then? Also there is no dispute that Omar threw the grenade that killed soldiers.

- sofixa 4y ago> Also there is no dispute that Omar threw the grenade that killed soldiers There isn't, but how is that murder? You said it yourself, soldiers, in a war zone, killing them is not murder. The US case is not only built on rotten foundations (torture), it doesn't even make sense. > It seems like everyone was tortured at Guantanamo...why were so few convicted then Because torture was less than useless in most cases, but gave "enough", apparently, for some convictions like Omar's to be pushed through on the vain hope that the torture won't come up and ruin the conviction. That didn't stop the sick fucks at the CIA from continuing the torture for quite some time. Everyone from them up to the White House inhabitants at the time deserves at the very least a trial and some jail time.
- googlryas 4y agoOmar was accused of war crimes, not merely murder. Specifically, he was charged with murder and attempted murder in violation of the laws of war, conspiracy to commit terrorism, providing material support for terrorism, and spying. So torture is less than useless in most cases, but it also helped secure a conviction against Khadr. Which is it? Why didn't torture help secure a conviction against everyone else at Guantanamo?
