re: #180 Sharmuta

I don’t know, Charles. I have a feeling the KSM trial might change your mind when it devolves into a circus. Then there are the consequences of al-qaeda getting discovery.

And there is the real problem with civilian trials.

Like Thanos said a bit upthread, I would have prefered to see military tribunals for these guys, within a reasonable period of time. It didn’t happen. It is time to try these guys and sentence them, get them put away. And it appears the only way that’s going to happen is with civilian trials. I have a suspicion that there will be at least a few released not because there is lack of evidence, but so that security issues can be preserved from the discovery rights of the defendant. So be it.
