Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
It took the US 18 years to realize that confessions obtained under torture are null and void?
18 years that the men was fighting for his life as they wanted to murder him based on that charge. This sham has been ongoing through the presidencies of Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden and now Trump again. If the US is ever to become a nation of basic human and civil rights for all and rule of law it needs to be reworked from the ground up.

No, that part took a couple months, a year at the very most.
What took 18 years was getting anyone with influence over the US military to acknowledge the obvious.

Yup! It's long past time to stop trying to fit a diverse and modern society into the notions of a bunch of rich white slave owners.
Torture must immediately void any result obtained. It is not reliable or something that should ever be rewarded unless its Putin and he's kept nice and safe and quiet altho visible and everyone does that stupid smirk of his while he's being quatered and pulled 4 diferent directions (after he's had the chance to furiously protest the gentle impalement that has to be done)
He honestly needs to be crucimpaled as a lesson to the next gangster who thinks they can pull that shit long term and be unscathed. Russia be fucking with the wrong hegemonic superiors
Putin shouldn't be quartered. He deserves the boats (with full medical care to ensure he remains alive and conscious for as long as possible).
Maybe they can make him like this, the skateboard head dude
I’m sorry I can’t unsee it
anyone who experienced similar detention and interrogations would understand this. Add to the physical torture the helpless detention that makes you realize you are not going anywhere with no end in sight.
we have a real story few years ago that made the news and caused quite an uproar of a guy whose wife secretly left him and went to stay with a new friend of hers in another province. everyone knew they were fighting and her family opposed her divorce, so when she left she didn't tell anyone and for almost two weeks didn't answer her family or friends calls and ditched her phone after or something.
The police showed him on the news admitting he killed , cut up and burned her body right here /pointing to burned ground in middle of a forest somewhere/
He was nodding and admitting to all that. "Yes sir I cut up her body" , "Yes sir I then burned her body right here."
Two weeks later Hallelujah lord and behold she raised up from the ashes and got back to life seen shopping in market in another city. He was so lucky to be alive with all limps attached and got out. I don't want to link the actual video which is still on youtube to not dox myself xD
For a second I thought that was Sundar Pichai.
