Military trial preferred for terror suspects

(UNEDITED)Now we learn that the Obama administration, including Attorney General Eric Holder, are bringing Kahlid Sheik Mohammed and his band of terrorists to the United States for trial in a civil court. They have been held in prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba since their capture and they revealed some very important information and data to their interrogators, at times through the instrument of waterboarding.

These terrorists were being held pending their trial by a military tribunal at Guantanamo Bay. But the military wheels of justice apparently move exceedingly slowly. The trials should have been conducted many years ago and these merciless terrorists should have died at the hands of a military firing squad long before now.

Now their fate has taken a new turn and they will face a very different kind of justice

-a justice that they did not provide their over 3000 innocent victims. In American courts the testimony given under waterboarding will not be accepted as evidence. Also the defense attorneys will receive all the incriminating evidence that the prosecutors have in their possession including top secret data on the CIA's methods and sources for gathering information. Thus, by this stroke of Obama Justice, experts tell us that some of these terrorists could walk away from the court, free men.

 Are any of your readers looking for new neighbors?

I wonder why our "Silent Minority" in Congress still remains silent.
