Who?

And my concern on those precedents is based upon years of study and teaching of them.

1) It ain’t wishful thinking — it is a concern based upon a long string of SCOTUS precedents.

2) Personally, I think the phrase “war on terror” is a joke, too. It should have been a straight-forward “War with Islam” instead — just as the jihadi pigs have always stated it is.

wrong and wrong….

hanging your wishful thinking on a speedy trial argument? that is just pathetic.

and to your second point, a band of criminals akin to the mafia, is not a sovereign nation, as Japan was in 1941.

personally, I think the phrase “war on terror” is a joke. In ‘41, we should had just let Japan go and concentrate on the “war on surprise attacks” instead.

All that needs to happen is for some bright defense attorney to argue that they have been denied their right to a speedy trial due to the length of their detention prior to civilian charges being filed, VC. Doesn’t matter what the jihadi pigs have admitted or when — that would be sufficient to bounce all charges.

And VC — just consider that, under your argument about US soil and lack of a declared war on 9/11, a Japanese pilot captured on 12/7/41 at Pearl Harbor (had their been one) would have had to have been prosecuted in a criminal court rather than treated as a POW.

Sorry RWR, that TP won’t fly. You know why? Because all five (including KSM) have admitted a role in masterminding and/or assisting in the attacks through Islamic TV (AJ and such) and releasing auto recordings PRIOR to capture and interrogation. It’s really an open-and-shut case.

That evidence will not be affected by Bu$hCo’s torture regime, though I’m sure it will be made apparent to all what did happen to them while in US custody. And before you try to rebut with a national security/confidential info compromise argument, our court system have measures in place to keep information and informants secure. So don’t go there either.

Next?

gee tom and liz, listen to Rove much?…take your own weakness and project it onto your opponent; take their strength and turn it into a perceived weakness.

was 9/11 committed on American soil? Were we in a state of declared war at the time?

i’m sick of the cowardice from the right…a bunch of pants pissers, the whole lot of ya! no respect and faith for our judicial system and believing that a SuperMax prison isn’t capable of handling these criminals is disheartening, especially coming from the so-called “law and order” crowd.

so what is it? are you scared or just looking to score political points?

most like both, IMO.

This is a real stupid move.

What happens when a federal judge throws out charges or a jury finds these guys not guilty.

Does Barack Obama release these terrorists? Or does he say that he doesn’t care what the judicial branch says and continue to hold them?

These guys ought to be declared POWs and held for the duration of the war we are fighting — just like is routinely done with POWs in every other war.

When you can’t argue the facts, just argue…Problem is that now we don’t know what we’re arguing or supporting…

So if it is a war, shouldn’t it be a higher priority than a healthcare bill that kicks in a few years from now?

If you don’t support the president in a time of war, you are disloyal and unpatriotic. and you should find another place to live, also.

I find the wingnuts really amusing on Afghanistan. Afghanistan barely crossed their minds for years and now that Obama is president it’s NOW NOW NOW we must decide NOW.

because his decision is between killing MANY more americans, or hopefully a lot less.
Why would anyone with a soul demand a quick hurried answer on that type of question? Your blood lust is so apparent. to love your country you need people to die for it don’t you?

I think President Kenyan Usurper should blow off thinking about Afghanistan for eight years. What the heck, it worked for the Dumbfuck from Texas.

Right, as opposed to letting the ones in Afghanistan hang out there. Decide yes or decide no, but you can’t decide “Mañana”… He campaigned on decide yes.

“Now we all understand why it’s taking BO so long to decide about troops for His war…”

yeah, a real man would just send other people’s sons and daughters off to be killed without thinking twice about it.

/snark off

It’s interesting watching conservatives try to turn from hawks into doves, just because the administration has changed.
