"Highly Coercive"

ADVERTISEMENTS
"Water under the bridge" nennt es der Amerikaner, wenn er Dinge meint, die heute keine Bedeutung mehr haben und die besser in Vergessenheit geraten sollten. Wie viel Wasser zwar nicht unter Brücken, dafür aber über Gesichter geflossen ist, wissen wohl nur wenige hochrangige Militärs. Ohne Bedeutung wird dies scheinbar in der Tat bleiben - für die Gerichtsverfahren: Wie die "Washington Post" berichtet, hat ein US-Gericht Aussagen, die in US-Gefangenschaft getätigt wurden, nicht als Beweismittel zugelassen.
Prosecutors in the trial of Osama bin Laden's former driver cannot use as evidence some statements the defendant gave interrogators because they were obtained under "highly coercive" conditions while he was a captive in Afghanistan, a military judge ruled Monday evening.
Konkret zu den Vernehmungen heißt es:
"The interests of justice are not served by admitting these statements because of the highly coercive environments and conditions under which they were made.''
Die Ära Bush ist bald vorbei, seine juristischen Spuren scheinen mit ihm zu gehen.
