      @QuabbityAshwitz @BobbyChesney insufficient courtroom-admissible evidence, for one thing. think about miranda warnings that have to be delivered for self-incriminating statements to count, chain-of-custody rules for physical evidence, etc.

    @QuabbityAshwitz @BobbyChesney also, the most useful US criminal law for prosecuting terrorists -- providing material support to terrorism -- didn't apply to the actions of non-citizens abroad until Congress expanded it after 9/11, which is one of the problems for early Gitmo detainees

      @QuabbityAshwitz @BobbyChesney And some Gitmo detainees were tortured in US custody, so the evidence against them is tainted
