I must confess I'm a little surprised TL, I always thought you were quite in favour of Guantanemo bay in its current form?

Would you mind explaining why conversations with attorney's should be private?

To my mind, such conversations would only incriminate the suspect if he admitted his guilt to the attorney. In that case, he should be found guilty anyway, and if the conversation were private, then it just allows the attorney to defend an otherwise guilty man.

If he is innocent, then his conversation with the attorney would not be incriminating and therefore I don't really see the need for privacy. If you've got nothing to hide, you've nothing to fear.

I'm sure this is an over-simplistic view and would appreciate a little enlightenment on this...
