    Kind of an interesting conundrum. What comes out in the trial will likely look bad on the US, mainly the tourture, but the plea deal could be a liability for the current admin, since they’d be accused of being soft on terrorism.

    ETA: Plus more could come out about the security failures of 9/11 which could be pretty embarrassing to the US.

      What conundrum? The US has people in jail for decades without a trial like some medieval country ruled by a psychopathic king, and when someone finals manages to untangle the mess by removing a penalty that’s barbaric on its own, the peanut gallery finally gets all worked up.

      It’s times like this that I remember that the US is moraly closer to Russia than to western Europe.

      What BS!

      BBC is left-centre?! If anything, BBC is right-centre, glorifying the imperialistic tendencies of the British Empire.
