re: #391 dugmartsch

The notion of these federal trials in and of themselves isn’t the troubling part - it’s how the Administration has chosen which to proceed under tribunals and which ones go to federal court. It’s an arbitrary process. It opens the door for more lawsuits, and it makes me wonder why tribunals weren’t appropriate for all involved seeing how the court concerns over tribunal process was worked out. Justice could still be served in either venue - but the option of having it both ways is an injustice that will be exploited by those remaining detainees and opens up the possibility of acquittals of terrorists and the government being forced to continue detaining them indefinitely - or even renditioning them to third countries indefinitely.
