This may be a turning point in the dark episode of torture perpetrated by the United States in the followingmath of the attacks of September 11, 2001. In a 50-page decision released on August 18, Judge and Colonel Lanny J. Acosta, who chairs a military commission at Guantanamo, released a decision that will have far-reaching implications. He rejected the confession made by the accused Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, a Saudi suspected by US authorities of orchestrating the suicide attack on the US Navy destroyer USS Cole in the port of Aden in Yemen in October 2000. Reason for this rejection: the confessions obtained from the detainee, who has languished in Guantanamo prison for nearly seventeen years, were obtained under torture in various secret CIA sites.
