Judge Tosses Terrorist Confession


We've pondered this before: What will happen when the WTC Terrorists get set free?

In a ruling this week, U.S. District Judge Thomas Hogan also said the government failed to establish that 23 statements the detainee made to interrogators at Guantanamo Bay were untainted by the earlier coerced statements made while he was held under harsh conditions in Afghanistan.
