that he's only ever talked about college and mohammed and abu zubaida nobody's ever claimed the shearers waterboarding was active so you know there are details that they might be afraid to come out but i also suspect that they're very worried that if machinery is allowed to testify about these things publicly then it sets the precedent and college mohammad would be able to well let's say that they actually get to have their way right that missionary doesn't satisfy about any of this that in the case of khalid shaikh mohammad that they'll get this guy with the crew deal and that'll be enough is testimony about of enough evidence for the judge then are there any other cases that you know whether still might be a chance or does it just become a closed book does the issue of torture it has got to go by completely on address at these military commissions that are you know the where the death penalty is the issue of guantanamo bay well certainly with the military commissions i think that would you know if if if the trials of machinery and khalid sheikh muhammad go forward without any mention o
