The BFEE tortured people all over the planet and for who knows how long, the information was probably used in warrant less wiretaps. This is why they want torture to be a legal means to prove someones innocence or guilt. We are going back to the Dark Ages!

NEW YORK, Dec. 23 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law expressed deep concern over a provision of the Defense Appropriations bill that Congress has passed. This provision would effectively permit the use of evidence obtained by torture in the cases of Guantanamo Naval Base detainees. The amendment, introduced by Sens. Lindsey Graham, Carl Levin and Jon Kyl, would severely curtail federal court review of detainees' cases, allow military tribunals to rely on evidence gained from torture, and undermine vital ongoing attorney-client relations for Guantanamo detainees.

All the BFEE has to do is slap the label "enemy combatant" onto someone and then they can do what they want.
