The fact that a jury convicted the lady doesn't necessarily mean too much. Juries get things wrong often enough. Just the other day Tony Blair has just made an official apology (after all these years) for the shocking injustice that jailed the Guildford Four and the McGuire Seven.
I imagine that in time there may well be similar epxressions of shame and regret by an American president for the things which are being done today in the torture cells of Guantanamo and and elsewhere.
