Military jury condemns US treatment of terrorist, urges clemency

That’s a strong rebuke from the jury.

“ Seven of the military jury’s eight members, who signed with their juror numbers, called the treatment of 41-year-old Majid Khan “a stain on the moral fiber of America" and a "shame for the U.S. government," reported the Times, which obtained a copy of the letter.

“Mr. Khan was subjected to physical and psychological abuse well-beyond approved enhanced interrogation techniques, instead being closer to torture performed by the most abusive regimes in modern history,” the jury members wrote in a letter addressed to the Arkansas National Guard’s Col. Jeffrey D. Wood, the convening authority of the military commission.”
