Those were American citizens caught on American soil. They absolutely should have been in federal court.

Respectfully, we have tried others for harming (or attempting to harm) Americans or American interests before, even if they were foreign nationals or not on American soil at the time of their crimes.

Richard Reid is a good example.

Another example of international law applied in such a case was with the Lockerbie bombers.
