Then educate yourself on the subject. Everyone of them we've tried except 3 has been in civilian, federal, court. Only 3 have been tried and convicted in a military tribunal. 2 of them got less than a year and are out free right now.
Distraction. That's war.
Part of me does like this. But, what if they're innocent?
I look at it like we are showing them, right up in their faces, that we are not afraid of them. We are strong enough to try them all, as we have tried more than 300 already!, in public. Then, when they are convicted, they are sent away never to be seen from again.
Maybe Coulter was right all along
She said NYers are wussies and would run if attacked ....
I hate the bitch but seeing this debate makes ya wonder
Yeah .... the "terrorists are coming ... stock up on duct tape ..."
The Bush "Legacy"???
Educate me as a lot of words come to mind talking about Bush
Legacy ain't one of them ...
My God ... the Right and their "Bush protected this country" is laughable considering Clinton protected this country for a longer period of time after the 93 WTC attack than Bush did after 9-11
I think the trials should take place in your town.Then educate yourself on the subject. Everyone of them we've tried except 3 has been in civilian, federal, court. Only 3 have been tried and convicted in a military tribunal. 2 of them got less than a year and are out free right now.

Why are all you people so afraid of trying this guy, or anyone, in a civilian court?
I mean, seriously. We've done it before, in fact we've done it for 99% of terrorists.
The Geneva Conventions cover people even if they don't follow it themselves. :doh
Impartial jury requirement.
It's not that I'm obsessed for it. I don't understand why you rightees are so against it when that's what has been used for ALL terrorist convictions except for THREE (3). You guys say these terrorists are not soldiers yet, you want them to be treated as soldiers in a military tribunal. They don't deserve the honor of being tried as a soldier.
You wish. Most people want the civilian trials.
A majority of Americans also disagree with President Obama's plan to try 9/11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed in civilian courts, a Quinnipiac University poll found.
By a 59% to 35% margin, voters prefer that Mohammed and his cohorts face justice from military tribunals instead of in federal courts.
Almost two-thirds of Americans disagree with the decision by President Barack Obama's administration to try the suspected 9/11 mastermind in a civilian court, a poll showed Monday.
Sixty-four percent of those surveyed said Khalid Sheikh Mohammed should be tried in a military court, while only 34 percent agreed with Obama that the civilian judicial system was the best way forward, the CNN poll said.
By switching to the untried and very new military tribunal we will be rolling the dice as to how this will effect us.
I wouldn't exactly call myself obsessed with this issue. The guy's gonna be executed either way.
