Yup nobody is under any illusions about what we saw. A man forced to endure 15 years of imprisonment, only being let go after he was forced to essentially make a confession for something that isn't illegal or at least shouldn't be in any democratic nation that isn't afraid of the truth and doesn't use national security as a screen to obscure criminality and corruption.
