Torture and Evidence
Here are two sentences to make your head spin:
As required by law, the manual prohibits statements obtained by torture and "cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment" as prohibited by the Constitution. However, the law does allow statements obtained through coercive interrogation techniques if obtained before Dec. 30, 2005, and deemed reliable by a judge.
So evidence procured by torture is unconstitutional, unless it isn't. George W. Bush really is president, isn't he?
