AP:US ok to use torture as evidence to hold prisoners indefinitely

[Monkie]

"WASHINGTON - Evidence gained by torture can be used by the U.S. military in deciding whether to imprison a foreigner indefinitely at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, as an enemy combatant, the government says"

"Statements produced under torture have been inadmissible in U.S. courts for about 70 years"

2. Does this give them the go-ahead to do it some more?

Or does it only apply to what has already been done?

Throw him in a lake -- if he floats, he's a terrorist; if he drowns, he was innocent.
