re: #325 Aceofwhat?

Absolutely. I don’t think that american citizens who commit acts of ‘terrorism’ should be tried differently. i don’t think that foreign nationals who commit ‘crimes’ (larceny, theft) should be tried differently. I would love to see a practice by which foreign nationals deemed to have attempted or commited an act of ‘terrorism’ to be tried via tribunal. they have information whose extraction is far more important than the other cases. make sense?

Doesn’t make sense to me. In fact, it scares the shit out of me. Note that even you had to put ‘terrorism’ in quotes, because there is no legal definition of what it means. The extension of such a designation to any arbitrary person, which removes all semblance of checks, balances and legal protection of the accused is far too fraught with potential for abuse.
