Brett Eagleson, whose father, Bruce Eagleson, was killed when one of the hijacked planes destroyed the south tower of the World Trade Center, called the events that forced the sidelining of al-Shibh’s prosecution “another example of the lack of justice that the 9/11 community has received at the hands of our own government.”

“They wrongfully tortured these individuals. We don’t stand for torture. Because of that we’re denied a trial. We’re denied true justice,” said Eagleson, who leads a group of victims’ families pushing the U.S. to release more of the documents of its investigations into the attacks.

    “Our own government” and “They wrongfully tortured”

    Did anyone else see the cognitive dissonance ? It is not that hard to spot that “our” government suddenly became “them” when torturing people.

    We US Americans tortured those men and women. Not “them”.

      No. I did not vote for the people who authorized this. I do not accept responsibility, and Bush was only president thanks to a SCOTUS ruling.
