Jesus, there are a bunch of pansy ass pansies in this country. If you can't handle the risks inherent in living in a constitutional democracy move somewhere else, like Saudi Arabia.

As confident as anyone, given the vagaries of our judicial system. Given a choice between using our system of justice to try a terrorist, or having him tried by a miltary court, something that would be seen by many as a way to "insure" a guilty verdict, yes, absolutely. You and I are subject to American justice, why not this fellow and the others? There has been no declaration of war, despite the fact that we are fighting two of them, the accused aren't members of any national military, not that I am aware of, and the topper, as far as I'm concerned, is that they are tried where I think they should be tried, in the city where the worst of their crimes were committed. New York.
OJ was tried in the greater LA area, where the crimes were committed. was justice served? and what's wrong with the Military Tribunals, the constitutionality of which was established in 2006? and what happens if he's not convicted? does KSM walk out of a Manhattan court room, a few short blocks from ground zero, a free man? are you ok w/ that outcome?
basso, one can spin any imaginary scenario. Countless imaginary scenarios. I see them here all the time. My post speaks for itself.
why won't you answer the question? has Holder (much less Obama) thought this through, any more than you have? i doubt it. there's a process in place, that would have served the same end. this is a show trial, fraught with risks that i imagine few have considered.
What makes you think I haven't thought about it? This is the right move and you are ignoring my response.
I have absolute faith, basso, that you will not let it stand. You will exact whatever justice you think is needed. I'll keep my faith in the justice system.
Do you like mustard and ketchup on your Burger? I do. I'm not a fan of mayo, unless I'm in the Netherlands.
He is being tried with respect to his involvement in 9/11. If by some miracle he is acquitted, he will avoid the death penalty for that act, but he will just be returned to the military prison system for his crimes against the military in Afghanistan. They can then charge him in the USA before commissions for any number of actions with with al Qaeda in Afghanistan. I'm sure you could have figured that out for your self it you weren't suffering from such an advanced case of dementia.
It gets worse. I like to sprinkle some Lea and Perrins on them, and if there is any pink in the middle, I send it back.
