The Justice Department conceded late last week that it lacks the evidence to hold a teenage Guantanamo detainee as an enemy combatant after a federal judge ruled that his confession was inadmissible.
In the hearing, U.S. District Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle ruled that Mohammed Jawad's confession to Afghan officials was inadmissible because it had been extracted through torture. She also questioned whether the Obama Justice Department had any evidence to proceed with a trial to determine whether he can be held as an enemy combatant.

  • Yupp 12 years old and torture is a poor measure of guilt at any time. It just is not reliable. People will say anything when tortured. Heck just threaten me with it and i'll tell ya anything comes into my head. Real or not! Get a gripe government......it is just wrong!

  • we (usa) tortured a 12 year old child. how shameless.
