Thats says nothing, August. With that statement you can excuse abandoning any legal standards or basic principles of justice in Western traditions' understanding completely. You can even excuse electroshocks or stage-tribunals like the Volksgerichtshof with that.
Formally he has not been found guilty of any crime, his guilt has not been proven at court, or am I wrong? That means he must be assumed innocent, for the time being - a vital principle of all Wetsern legal systems that is. In dubio pro reo. The guilt must be proven, not the innocence.
And even if he is found guilty of a crime, this does not justify the legal system striking back at him by the means of psychic or physical torture. At least as long as the claims of America for what principles it stands still have any meaning.
Justice and law enforcement - are something totally different than revenge. Cruelty by the authorities - must and shall have zero space in any legal system worth that name.
