First, you CANNOT “clean up” torture-obtained testimony by having the FBI reinterrogate the “Gitmo Six” after the CIA has already used coercive methods.
Second, the Gitmo Six trials are nowhere close to being like the Nuremburg Nzai trials. That’s insult to Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson, prosecutor Tom Dodd (father of son Sen. Chris) and more. Even the Soviets didn’t torture any major or semi-major defendants they had captured.
Speaking of that, if Bush wants a comparison, maybe he could riff on Daddy Bush and call this “the kinder, gentler show trials.”
