I am all for that if it was the ultimate death sentence as a preventative! Go Harris! R

Sounds great, theoretically. But doesn't work in the real world. Say the US was in a conventional war and captured 50,000 enemy soldiers. Would each get a trial?

Zubair,
I am praying for you, that you should some day break free of your mental and spiritual chains. There is a better way. It will be here waiting for you when you are ready.

I am an american and i have to agree with warren. Our rights are granted by God not by the governement. As such they must be equally applied to all regardless of their crimes and country of origin.

Military tribunals have no rules; the proceedings are held in secrecy and the judgements are largely arbitrary and capricious. If we allow such trial to go on then eventually they will be held for americans as well.

It is quite possible that a U.S. citizen could be classified as a terrorist — espcially given our current Homeland security director's definition of one: anyone that engages in tea party rallies, war vets, and people that peacefully disagree with Obama's ideas and policy. Would you like to give the executive branch this much power over your fate in military tribunal? It could happen.

Warren from the UK and Mohammed from Pakistan are entitled to their screwed up view of things – after all, Warren lives in the land of PC and in a country that is slowly being islamofornicated; Mohammed lives in a country that is a total contradiction: While claiming to fight jihad, most of their military are jihadists, and the government has ALWAYS talked out of both sides of its Islamic (I almost said "islamofascist") mouth. Are they our friends or our enemies? Who knows? Certainly, our various Administrations know diddly-squat about the Truth that is Pakistan. Meanwhile, of course, tens of thousands of its poor citizens are singled out daily for death by Islamic Jihad – in fact, those bastards have their hands full trying to kill their own fellow citizens, let alone other nationals.

Let's just put it this way: We have totally different outlooks on islamofascism. "East is East and West is West – and ne'er the twain shall meet." Kipling, that old colonial, wasn't far off-base – it's still ever thus.

I spent 40-years in the fire service, most of it with the Department of Defense fire protection (Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps). At one time I was responsible for all of the Army’s fire departments in South Korea.
While attending a fire chief conference in 1988, I had the pleasure of meeting an Israeli fire officer. During our discussion on the challenges he faced each day, he told me if I would like to see what challenges we would face in a few years, watch what was happening in his country, the Middle East, Europe and around the world. They had been fighting radical Islamic terrorists for years and he told me the jihad would expand throughout the world, including the United States. He was right. This experience brought me to where I am today, a chapter leader for ACT! for America – Raleigh Chapter.

Folks, if you want to stop CAIR, go to ACT! for America and sign the petition to have CAIR fully investigated. Next, review the STOP SHARIAH PROJECT. Finally, link to the ACT chapters in your state and join, if there is not one close, start one. There is a link on the website explaining how.
We must have an ACT! chapter supporting each military installation in the nation. The wives, mothers, and fathers, those that have a family member in the military and those of us who just love them will run the chapters. We must top radical Islam; our useless government is too politically correct to do so. Did our government contact the KKK and ask them to come to their offices and advise them how to arrest KKK members without offending them?

I just can't get myself to dignify any of the comments in support of criminal court trials for terrorists, with a reply.

Michelle…where do you get your information? The New York Post story was tiny and doesn't contain such vivid and specific descriptions. You just don't feel the need do ya? I guess we are lucky you even mentioned the Post.

Are you rally that dumb? Why would a non american get american rights? The right to vote in US elections too? Can americans vote in the UK? Why not, I want that right too.
There is historical precedence for military tribunals, lots during the valiant defense of the british isles, which in hindsite looks like a waste of time, as you will soon be conquered again. This time it IS all your own fault, and no one is coming to your rescue this time. Good luck, have fun at the mosque, or paying the "infidel tax".

Sorry, but you are incorrect. YOU need to follow the rules of war and also follow the geneva convention to be treated under it's guidlines. That means you must wear uniforms, have a military hierachy, NOT TARGET CIVILIANS ON PURPOSE, among others. Back in world war II, if they caught you in civilian clothes w weapons, they'd give you a quick field trial (mititaty tribunal) and execute you if guily, if not shoot you on site.

"demand freedom yet from others you demand obedience"
what obedience is being asked, what are you talking about?

Warren you are despicable coward who manifestly don't understand the reality and history.

People who are driven by their religion wishing to exterminate everyone who disagree with them and you complain about military tribunals which have been existing for decades.

UK has become the kingdom of the Political Correctness and ignorant guy like you is a perfect example.

ok. i live in karachi and thus recieve all the news rather than the filtered version, so this is what i hear. since all of islam is your enemy then i am justified to kill any americans i see. because its war. and since its war, i must be treated under the geneva convention if i am caught, as any american caught is treated. so basically whaat your telling me to do is kill anyone i meet without mercy since they cannot be trusted. i know you wont suddenly realize your error but i agree with warren. you guys are so self obsessed you cannot see why this is happening. you demand freedom yet from others you demand obedience. i guess thts wht happens when you are the descendants of ppl who write 'all men are equal' while they own slaves and hunt 'red skins' because they are beneath them.

(Essex man)? In the civilian judicial process it is accepted that some of the actually guilty must inevitably be released as the price to be paid for helping to protect the wrongly accused. The risk to society is acceptable.
But where the risks of release could lethally threaten large number of citizens, the innocents must likewise be protected by the lower bar of legal doubt and less manipulable process of a military judicial process.
The civilian and military both express the same principle that the protection of the innocent is more important than the punishment of the guilty.

Deport KSM back to GITMO…….military trials could be determined quickly and cheaply there. They are all guilty – Firing Squad is efficient for these slimy dirty killers.

Whys is this trial receiving virtually no news coverage? This is clearly the reason that the terrorists from Gitmo Will Not Be Tried in NYC. It has nothing to do with listening to the public; it all has to do with image. Hopefully this Administration will lear the difference between a criminal and terrorist before we suffer another 9/11.

Oh shut up, brainless pig. If anyone is mental, you are. Islamist terrorists are enemies of the West, as are those who defend them, and as such they should face military trials. And you're nothing more than a terrorist shrilling headcase. And before anyone asks, yes, I'm a Brit.

You americans are mental. How anyone is able to be proud of their rights, freedoms and democracy, yet at the same time deny those very same rights to non-americans, is clearly just a bit stupid. Military tribunals? You people should be ashamed of yourselves.
