Actually I was watching a program about the difference between UCMJ court
rules vs. federal court and there are only a few differences according to
this retired JAG colonel.

well no, i believe it is so incredibly obvious that terrorists need to be tried in military courts. to do otherwise is absolutely insane and works against the common good of the usa.
those who support constitutional rights for military combatants
do so in some illogical premise. they do not belong to an organized army, therefore the geneva conventions do not apply. they should never receive constitutional rights afforded to american citizens. there is absolutely no positive outcome in this except for the obama administration and the far left who seeks to embarass the bush administration. it will take at least 4 years, giving them a platform for propaganda. costint nyc untold millions of dollars, putting nyc at risk. it is sheer lunacy. those who support it are devoid of the ability for higher thought process in this matter.

mojo~ You are in the majority on this. Last poll I heard said 76% of those
surveyed favored the military venue. I'm surprised. I didn't think support
for the public trial in a federal district court would be so light. It's
possible that this survey's results are influenced by strong emotions that
may cloud clear thought on the matter.

what the terrorists want is a 4 year long circus to unleash their propaganda, and get new converts. that is what they will get. everyone has an opinion but in this matter the truth is clear. they should be tried by the military. i can't believe what a bunch of assholes inhabit this country now. people really need to get real on this. i pray the next attack won't happen here in nyc. some other cities turn. hopefully one where the majority support nonsense like this. enough with this bs.

OK. Man, I'm taking a lot of hits on this! Let me briefly reiterate. They
may want to view it as an act of war (Jihad) but I reject their Holy
War definition and I think it wise to not allow them to bully us into such a
definition. I am not a defense advocate for these monstrous conspirators. I
would gladly shoot them myself as a lawfully appointed executioner. I simply
prefer not to validate their self-defining status as Allah's warriors
instead of the group of homicidal thugs they are.
Understand that I have a rationale for my position and it's not a soft or PC
one.

I never said anything like that. Read it again. I've been taking care of
returnees for almost 10 years.

The Obama administration is hell bent on giving our enemies an edge by trying the 5 terrorists as criminal in a civiilian court aand granting them constitutional rights.
There is one way to try these terrorists and Obama has chosen to bypass the military tribunal. That decision was nothing more than a calculated political move that was blessed by the radical left who have a political ax to grind which is the defeat of America in the international arena and with that the defeat of the Bush administration by bringing those officicals to justice, do you see that?

I don't share Jacob Laksin's fear of democratic justice in America. Terrorists like to hide in the dark. They don't seek the light of day and certainly not the spotlight. I strongly doubt the American people will want to become terrorists or sympathize with them.

I think Laksin thinks the American people are stupid and/or democracy is stupid. I have absolutely no fear of allowing a terrorist to defend himself in an American court.

And thank goodness that the Jews did not fear having the Nazi's tried in a democratic, global court that had every microphone in the world and radio too, along with ample film and TV that has documented the utter terror of the Nazis forever and a day.......and that was six million innocent men, women and children being slaughtered.

Since when are Americans afraid of the American system of justice? Would they prefer the sharia style of justice?

When our own government is anti-American, something must be done. There was a time that once an election was over, we came together. Now, even the media is fractured.
