re: #428 lawhawk

Why should a terrorist who attacked the US and destroyed US property and killed thousands of Americans get tried in an international court? The US has jurisdiction and has the capability to determine the means for trial - whether in federal court or in a tribunal system. The tribunal system was an appropriate method considering all the evidenciary problems resulting from overseas capture, CIA actions, harsh interrogations, etc. and it still managed to preserve court access.

Coalition-building. You might have the numbers to answer this one: How is the Hague’s record on convictions? I think most of the former Yugoslavs went down hard. (My own choices are NYC jury first, international second.)
