CNN Poll: Americans want KSM tried in military court

[bodecea]

the left thinks they are mere criminals and should be punished when they commit a crime

Not all the Left.

Mike Moore, Gore Vidal and Chomsky think they are freedom fighters.

They said they were "Freedom Fighters"?

Two-thirds of Americans disagree with the Obama administration's decision to try Khalid Sheik Mohammed in a civilian court rather than a military court, according to a new national poll.

But six in 10 people questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Monday say that the alleged mastermind of the 9/11 attacks should be tried in the United States, as the administration plans to do, rather than at a U.S. facility in another country.

The poll indicates that 64 percent believe Mohammed should be tried in military court, with 34 percent suggesting that he face trial in civilian court. Six in 10 people questioned say Mohammed should be tried stateside, with 37 percent calling for the trial to take place at a U.S. facility in another country.

"The decision to bring Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in front of a civilian court is universally unpopular - even a majority of Democrats and liberals say that he should be tried by military authorities," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "Despite that, most Americans say that he will get a fair trial in the U.S."

Military Court is fine in the U.S. as a General Court Martial type deal...but whatever happened to the..."they aren't POWs" stuff?

They aren't POW's. If they were, there wouldn't be trials. Takes two 'sides' to be a war. No war, just tactics.

Why NY ... because of the "photo op", but when it backfires it will flush the administration.

If its to take years and it will I see a huge burden on NY and jobs and businesses lost as well. Not to mention a huge waste of money because they are never going to be let loose anyway so why fucking bother!? Oh yea .. "photo op"

Zacarias Moussaoui took 4 years and it was a media circus and millions of dollars wasted. He went up there and said every negative thing about this country which you can bet found its way back to the Middle East.

We will try these fucks...convict them in 4-5 years...put them to death 2 years later and they will be martyrs and the ultimate recruiting tool to plot more terror

Of course...nothing to do with the place where the CRIME took place.

Early pols don't mean anything.

Conservatives are fear mongers with a "chicken little" mentality. They fill the airways with "dire warnings". Then, when the world doesn't end, America begins "reasonable" examination.

Conservatives feel that if they turn up the hype and become even more wild, then at some point, it must work again.

Bush understood conservatives more than anyone.

Back in the 80's, Reagan and Co. considered them freedom fighters when they were handing them weapons, CIA training, and other goodies to fight the Soviet Union.

Because taking them out back and shooting them in the head doesn't make them martyrs.

What part of wasted Millions is so difficult to Understand? The Military tribunals had already been blessed by the Supreme court and had started. Mr O stopped them. WHY?

It can only be Political BS.

You make a valid point, and may be very close to the truth...

Al Queada didn't exist in the 80's.

Because all those trials that happened previously were just "political BS." It's not like there was precedent with over a hundred cases or anything for this sort of thing.

The Taliban did, he's confused.

The fuck they did. Might want to spell them right first off. And the precursor that became Al Qaeda did. Including 8 year on the run terrorist Osama Bin Laden.

All those "freedom fighters" groups we gave all those little goodies too in the 80's under Reagan under the Soviet Union. Do you not recall that? Or how about giving Iraq all those little goodies to fight Iran but then them being pissed at us because they found out about us giving weapons to Iran in secret? You want to talk about the War on Terrorism, we have created many of our enemies and gave them a start.

Modern version Frankenstein.

The closest precedence we have to this situation is the Nuremberg trials of the NAZI war criminals. And what were they? Military tribunals. You call me crazy for trusting our congress and Supreme Court, Yet you want these mass Murdering scumbags to have all the rights granted to our own citizens. The ones that they would rather kill than look at.

We know where crazy is.
