Missouri Mule said:I'm in favor of giving all terrorists a speedy trial and then duly hanging them. Or hanging them first and then a trial. All the same to me.
I love how my fellow Americans throw stuff like this out there.
If they ARE Terrorists, than yes, they still deserve thier trial and then should get thier capital punishment.
But you failed to mention a speedy and FAIR trial. You just said speedy.
Also, like we did in Iraq, im pretty certain the government makes mistakes from time to time on the validity of thier case, whether or not this person actually did something wrong, or if its just government suspicion. This is why the trial is necessary, because we don't want to imprison/kill someone just because we THOUGHT they were guilty, we had better be damned sure. Thats what the trial is for.
You know what this type of jabbering from you reminds me of?
The days in our history of the good ole Communist Inquisition. Where anyone could be an evil dirty communist just by being friends with one, when you never knew they were communist in the first place. Stuff like that, silly really, America should be better than this.
