Why should we, the American Taxpayer, be required to bear the legal and medical burdens of FOREIGN combatants?
Tim McVeigh was our problem to deal with, true enough. But we owe nothing to these foreign agents who attack us. They are NOT citizens, and when they come here on visas which are invalidated by their aggressive intent, counter to their stated intentions when applying for the visa... they have entered the country illegally.
There shouldn't be any reason why we can't treat this guy as we would any other foreigner per the dictates of the U.S. Constitution and then legally turn him over to the military, withdrawing Constitutional protection upon a court hearing of the charges and determination on the the correct jurisdiction. I'm not a lawyer, but it seems to me that we don't extend Constitutional protections to foreigners once they've been expelled from our shores.
Trying the Shoe Bomber in civilian court was a mistake, one that Obama and his liberal supporters seem to intent upon copying. More of the Same.
