re: #9 brent

He made a very disturbing comment to the effect of “well, we’re only putting the cases we will win in court”. It was basically an admission of the obvious, that these trials are for show.
At some point they’ll lose one

No, they’re instituting the tiered system for that very reason— we’re only having criminal trials in those cases where the evidence is strong enough to allow it. In others we’re having military tribunals, and up to 75 people are going to be held indefinitely without trial or charge because it’s impossible to convict them even under the different standards of a military tribunal.
Huge clusterfuck, basically. We won’t lose any of the criminal trials, but that is hardly a good thing.
