Exactly right. The difference is that I don't believe non US citizens should have the same rights as US citizens captured on foreign soil.

And risk more lives for nothing.

If you recognize that then how can you possibly claim giving these terrorists a platform to propagate their lives to people so cut off from the truth that they will believe them?

The fundamental flaw in believing this will do no damage relies on the incorrect assumption that all people in the world enjoy the same freedom of information and education as the west does.

Its who they are saying it to and how they will take it that makes it so important.

I've seen many ignorant arguments trying to defend using civilain courts over military courts but no one has ever tried to pretend that hate and the preaching of hate is not dangerous.

You are still in a class by yourself.

Attack on America=matter of national defense=military tribunal.

Regardless of whether these guys want to use this as a platform for their rhetoric, I am still in the dark as to why these aren't military tribunals? What is the argument against this being tried in military court?

The Prof

the uncivilized world does, and that's a whole lotta world

holder is clueless

lindsey graham totally took him apart with the SIMPLE, pre-law question of precedent

asked if he could name ONE enemy combatant ever tried in us court, the ag answered, "i don't know, i'll have to look at that"

LOL!

graham---"i'll save you the time, it's never happened"

graham also exposed the prosecutor as pure poser by pinning down the problem of miranda rights

the AG had no response to ksm's not receiving his

that's ONE reason these trials should not be in new york---miranda

the trials also communicate umistakably to our enemies---if you kill a soldier you'll go before tribunal

but if you go after little girls and grammas you get the exact same treatment, enjoy all the rights and priviledges of michael jackson

these are not criminals we're talking about, they're warriors

their victims may be civilian, their impetus is not

that's WHY manhattan is wrong

holder himself said this would be the trial of the century

our last such paparazzi circus was oj

polls are overwhelmingly against this

9-11 families are mortified with offense

jon stewart was hoping for "a little more old testament"

he expresses what's on middle america's mind, here

the prez is way on the wrong side of this one, his dumbest move yet

he put holder out there, after all

not real bright

You are proving my point for me, and proving your inability to follow simple logic. As I have stated, the views are already out there. You show that they are already out there. There is no additional danger from some one expressing views that are already easy to find. Putting our hands over our ears is not going to make them go away.

but so hi profile a platform has never been provided

hello

Agent Ferris

So you believe they have a right to a platform to launch anti-American propaganda? Since when do alien unlawful combatants have the right to freedom of speech?

These war criminals have no intent of even trying to prove their innocence so what is the point of this trial? The ONLY reason why this trial needs to take place is to give these people a platform, there is no other reason.

Freedom of speech for alien unlawful combatants? Now I've heard everything.

I find it terrible that these people will be allowed a platform to spew anti-American garbage and attempt to justify the murder of 3,000 American civilians.

Can you think of a reason why it is necessary to give these murderers a platform from which to launch anti-American propaganda and attempt to justify the murder of 3,000 U.S. civilians? They have no intention of trying to prove their innocence so what's the point?

Simply as part of the process. I don't think the purpose of the trial is for them, it's for us. I think it does us good to see him tried, and see him convicted(I assume), and know that he is executed. The terrorists try and change us, be we still stay the same, and we protect our own, and we do it in the light of day. I think that is what makes this a great country.
