What part of American by BIRTH escapes you? Nice try, no sale. POOR comparison.
No
It makes no difference where you are born. The US holds itself up as a model of human rights and has done so for over 200 years.
Nazis deserved a fair trial, mass murderers deserve a fair trial, those accused of treason deserve a fair trial. There are no loopholes in providing human rights
And didn't those Nazis have a war crimes tribunal in Nuremberg? Not a US civilian trial in NYC.
Interesting you should ASK such a thng my friend?
HERE is how FDR dealt with Terrorists...
Exerpt:
On June 19 [1942] the President received an excited call from Francis Biddle, his attorney general. Six days before, Biddle told the President, "at 1:30 A.M. an unarmed Coast Guard patrolman near Amagansett, Montauk Point, Long Island,
discovered two men placing material in a hole they had dug; one of them covered the patrolman with a gun, gave him $260 and told him to keep his mouth shut. I shall, of course, keep you informed." As J. Edgar Hoover's nominal boss, Biddle later recalled the FBI chief's demeanor while describing the plan to track down the rest of the saboteurs: "His eyes were bright, his jaw set, excitement flickering around the edge of his nostrils," Biddle remembered. The question now was how much to tell the public. Hoover wanted no announcement that might alert the men still at large. The President agreed, and the press was, for the moment, frozen out of the story.

FDR's longstanding preoccupation with sabotage now seemed validated. Biddle admitted, "1 had a bad week trying to sleep as I thought of the possibilities. The saboteurs might have other caches hidden, and at any moment an explosion was possible."
[Saboteur] Dasch had, in fact, revealed that, along with their transportation and industrial targets, the Pastorius mission was supposed to spread terror by placing firebombs in department stores and delayed-action explosives in hotels and in crowded railroad stations.

Three days after all eight saboteurs were in custody, FDR sent Biddle a memo making clear his expectations.
"The two Americans are guilty of treason," he told the attorney general. "I do not see how they can offer any adequate defense. . . it seems to me that the death penalty is almost obligatory." As for the six German citizens, "They were apprehended in civilian clothes. This is an absolute parallel of the Case of Major [John] Andre in the Revolution and of Nathan Hale. Both of these men were hanged." The President hammered home his point once more: "The death penalty is called for by usage and by the extreme gravity of the war aim and the very existence of our American govemment." Biddle had never quite overcome his awe in dealing with FDR. Still, the nation's chief law enforcement official was troubled, finding himself trapped between the President's questionable pressure and his own reverence for the law.
The Germans had been apprehended so quickly, Biddle recognized, that "they had not committed any act of sabotage. Probably an indictment for attempted sabotage would not have been sustained in a civil court on the grounds that the preparations and landings were not close enough to the planned acts of sabotage to constitute attempt. If a man buys a pistol, intending murder, that is not an attempt at murder."
In a civilian court the Germans might at best be convicted of conspiracy, which Biddle estimated would carry a maximum sentence of three years. This outcome, he knew, would never satisfy Roosevelt.
________________
FDR essentially took charge of the case. He told Biddle that he wanted the eight agents tried, not in a civilian court, but by a
military tribunal, which he himself would appoint. They had forfeited any right to a civilian trial, as Roosevelt put it, because "[t]hese men had penetrated battlelines strung on land along our two coasts and guarded on the sea by our destroyers, and were waging battle within our country." They fell under the Law of War. A military tribunal would be quick, not subject to the protracted appeals procedures of civilian courts. It would not be hog-tied by the criminal courts' exacting rules of evidence. It could impose the death sentence, not as the civil courts required, by a unanimous verdict, but by a two-thirds vote. A military tribunal offered the advantages and the assured outcome that the President wanted.

Feel free to go read the rest. Say what you want of FDR? At least FDR got this one correct.
The Obama administration is doing what they are here to put their own country on trial, AND to payback the extreme LEFT in this country by indicting indirectly George W. Bush.
After all? Isn't Obama still going around the world
apologizing for the past history of this nation?
There's something sinister here. And this so-called 'TRIAL" will go on for YEARS. The discovery process will be fascinating, as will PICKING THE "J
ury of PEERS". (How are they gonna do that exactly)??
Ladies and gentlemen? Based upon prior behaviour? You Country will be put on trial here for the entire World to see...And WHY? These perps have already plead
GUILTY, and asked to be executed...
WHY this trial? Precisely to re-write History in their image, and to set precident which is more accomodating to those that wish to KILL us and destroy this nation.
Congrats Democrats. You own this ensuing
CIRCUS.
