911 terrorists to be tried in NYC

[LibocalypseNow]

Make no mistake about it,this Dog & Pony Show will only benefit brutal Terrorists and Leftist Loons everywhere. They will make this show all about "Torture" and how "Evil" George Bush was. This whole thing really will be a huge Win/Win for the Terrorists and Leftist Loons. Unfortunately it will likely be a terrible Lose/Lose for the 911 Victims and their families. The Military could have and should have handled this. How sad.

Indeed, the families of 9/11 are not happy, neither is Daniel Pearl's family:

Daniel Pearl's Family Disagrees WIth NYC Trial For Khalid Sheikh Mohammed

The mother and father of slain Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl are disappointed with the federal government's decision to try Pearl's professed killer and Guantanamo detainee Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in New York City, according to The Hill.

Pearl's father, Judea Pearl, told the New York Post that the Justice Department's decision made him "sick to the stomach."

The foundation started by Pearl's parents, Ruth and Judea Pearl, released a statement to The Hill Saturday night, explaining their disappointment. The Hill:

We are respectful of the legal process, but believe that giving confessed terrorists a worldwide platform to publicize their ideology sends the wrong message to potential terrorists...
The Pearl family is not the first to object to the federal trial for Guantanamo detainees. The Washington Post has written that a public trial could be the "perfect arena" for smug Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's huge ego. And that a trial for the "9/11 mastermind" could provide him with "the attention he craves."

Pearl was beheaded in 2002, after he was kidnapped in Pakistan. He left behind a wife, Mariane, and young son, Adam Daniel, who was born three months after Pearl's murder. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed confessed to killing Pearl in 2007.

Yes this is a very bad decision. It really will be a wonderful World Stage for brutal Terrorists and Leftist Loons to make it all about "Torture" and how "Evil" George Bush was. A real Win/Win for brutal Terrorists and Leftist Loons. However it's a real Lose/Lose for 911 Victims.

any opinions?

BAD BAD BAD

Thats my opinion. Opine? ok

Its a BAD idea to give these battlefield combatants and terrorists civil/criminal court access inside the US justice system.

What would I have done instead? 2 things:

1) Take no prisoners on the battlefield avoiding the situation all together
2) Prompt military tribunal trials of everyone captured.

When the Spanish did it, it was torture. When the Japanese did it, it was torture. When the Germans did it, it was torture. When the Khmer Rouge did it, it was torture. But when waterboarding was done by Americans under a Republican administration, it suddenly became an "enhanced interrogation technique."
