Reply #47: If the government had sufficient evidence to try and convict the detainees,

[Beam Me Up]

evidence that was not derived under torture, wouldn't they have done so already? How many years does it take to build a case against a terrorist especially when you have at your disposal the DoJ, FBI, CIA and military intelligence? Why is there so little evidence tying many if not most of these detainees to al Qaeda and the events of 9/11 NOT derived from torture? Why is it they are never referred to as "alleged" terrorists? Why did the previous administration NEED to torture them? Why does the current administration NEED to keep them in detention indefinitely? -- Especially if they lack any evidence to try and convict them for acts of terrorism?
