The right to a trial in an American court is not a natural right, granted by God at birth; it is instead a privilege that is bestowed upon, specifically, citizens. Enemy combatants, illegal aliens, and such criminals are not citizens, and therefore do not possess this right. If the question is instead to be, “Should non-citizens possess this right?”, it should be discussed with the intention of amending the Constitution, but without taking this step, the Obama administration is acting illegally, not to mention stupidly, in giving an enemy combatant a citizen’s trial.

“LOL! Just imagine if anyone here had said that to noman for his opposition to the Iraq War or any other innumerable disagreements.”

I love having noman around. He is part of the “Blame America First, Hate America” Marxist crowd whose constant whining converts more to Conservativism than my words can.

Honestly I do hate what has been done to many of America’s institutions. They are no longer what the Constitution or our founders set them up to be. Our court system was designed for the pursuit of justice, yet it has been turned to the pursuit of curiousity and entertainment. This should not be.

Noman, the American justice system has been a PR show, and merged with entertainment at least since OJ Simpson. This trial of terrorist in NYC will only serve to further errode the credibility and integrity of our justic system.

I refrained from saying this all through the Kerry Swiftboating, and the McCain “Country First” campaign, but now I have to say it:

Wow, you guys really *do* hate America.

Noman insults the military justice system which is designed to accomodate these matters. In many ways it is superior to civy courts.

If the point was to show the world how great our justice system was then we could just film a day in traffic court. This is not smart. The pink slips are coming. Please stop trying to create meaning out of nothing just so that you can continue to support the current administration. It is unbecoming.

Ah yes, noman — once again showing his historical ignorance. What a surprise.

America stands to gain far more by showing its justice system to the world rather than a quick conviction and execution at a drumhead tribunal.
