Bottomline, AQ TRAINS IT'S JIHADIs TO ACCUSE TORTURE.

Big shocker there. But the Main Stream Media fall for it and repeat it EVERY TIME.
I'm confused here - isn't that their job - to report what is said or claimed along with background info from subject-matter experts and counter-points made by the prosecuters - looks as if they're doing their job, to me, and I appreciate the info - now, whether I believe it all or not is a different story and up to me to wade through to formulate an opinion.

As for how this specific case is handled and turns out - well, that's for those directly involved in it all to determine - I'm just an interested citizen - and it seems to me as if the issues are quite complicated and relevant to us all to try and understand.

But are you inferring that we shouldn't allow a free and open press?
