If torture works why aren't the wing nuts calling for Terry Nichols to be tortured?

[NNN0LHI]

Just to see if he might identify the conspirators who financed and directed him and Timothy McVeigh. Might even prevent another 4/19/95? I am not for it but perhaps we should at least ask the torture supporters if they would be for doing it? Just to see what their reaction would be.

Terry Lynn Nichols (born April 1, 1955) is a U.S. Army veteran who conspired with Timothy McVeigh in the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on April 19, 1995. The Oklahoma City Bombing, by which the event became known, claimed the lives of 168 people and drew worldwide attention.

For his role, Terry Nichols was convicted of conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction and eight counts of involuntary manslaughter by a federal jury in Colorado. He was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole in ADX, a supermax security prison in Florence, Colorado. He was returned to Oklahoma to face state charges of first degree murder in connection with the bombing. Jury selection in the McAlester, Oklahoma trial started March 1, 2004. By March 11, a jury had been selected and ordered to return on March 22 to hear opening statements in the case. He was convicted on May 26, 2004 of 161 counts of first-degree murder, which included one count of fetal homicide. As in the federal trial, the state jury deadlocked on imposing the death penalty in the case. On August 9, 2004, Terry Nichols was sentenced to 161 consecutive life terms without the possibility of parole. snip

Federal involvement allegations

Terry Nichols contends a high-ranking FBI director, Larry Potts, directed Timothy McVeigh in the plot to blow up a government building and might have changed the original target of the attack, according to a new affidavit filed in U.S. District Court in Utah on February 9, 2007.

The suit, which seeks documents from the FBI under the federal Freedom of Information Act, alleges that authorities mistook Kenneth Trentadue for a bombing conspirator and that guards killed him in an interrogation that got out of hand. Trentadue's death a few months after the April 19, 1995, bombing was ruled a suicide after several investigations. The government has adamantly denied any wrongdoing in the death. Trentadue's brother, attorney Jesse Trentadue is suing for FBI teletypes to support his belief that Federal authorities were tipped to McVeigh's plans, but failed to stop the bombing and let others walk away from prosecution. A US District court judge Dale A. Kimball ruled in September 21, 2007 that Trentadue can question and videotape David Paul Hammer and Terry Nichols. The FBI has opposed these videotapings. The FBI claimed "there no longer existed any 'case or controversy' sufficient to confer subject matter jurisdiction" to the court after the agency's previous document disclosures. The court disagreed, noting that the FBI's responses were marked by a "troubling absence of documents to which other documents referred."

In his affidavit of February, 2007, Nichols says he wants to bring closure to the survivors and families of the attack on the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, which took 168 lives. He alleges he wrote then-Attorney General John Ashcroft in 2004, offering to help identify all parties who played a role in the bombing but never got a reply.
