The "tragedy" is that the previous administration wasn't happy with the limitations that both a military model or a civilian one present. They opted to make up the rules as they went and leave it to someone else to clean up.
The sentence isn't 20 yrs, it is 20 to life in a federal system that doesn't allow parole. We'll see; but I'd be surprised if he receives the minimum sentence.
We're a nation of laws and process. This sets a precedence for rules of evidence and process that will carry forward. It's hard to claim moral superiority when you violate your own rules.
