The Obama administration is being accused of relying on statements obtained through torture to justify the ongoing jailing of a prisoner at Guantanamo Bay. On Wednesday, the American Civil Liberties Union asked a federal judge to throw out statements made by Afghan prisoner Mohamed Jawad. The ACLU says Jawad was abused, threatened, and deprived of sleep in US custody. Jawad’s case has received further scrutiny because it’s believed he was jailed when he was twelve years old.
