I have been here just over 1 year,and have seen a few posters
come and go in that time.
I have been under the sword of damocles myself quit a few times.
But I have seen more ” G’bye (nt) ” this week than in that year.
I hope the trolls lay off for awhile so you can get some rest Niel.

What’s your definition of troll? Someone who disagrees with you? Because I’ve done my best to engage in polite debate without personal attacks.

Which specific assumption about “lefties” are you making about me? I realize that you’re probably basing that off of some preconceived notion of liberals but I don’t know specifically which preconception in order to respond.

… introspection, thought, recognition… Heck, I’m not convinced that some of these trolls even have their own world-view. Like little red wind-up dolls…

“It’s disappointing that such a disregard for human life is accepted as a reasonable view.”

You are a joke. Think about what you just said in relation to the worldview you hold and the reason why will become plain.

It’s disappointing that such a disregard for human life is accepted as a reasonable view. The main concern with trying alleged war criminals in federal court seems to be that they’ll get more rights. If that’s true, if military courts don’t grant basic rights like seeing the evidence against oneself or being free from coercion, then our military court system is broken.

It was an act of war. KSM is an enemy combatant. He was going to get a military trial. Those who attacked the USS Cole are going to get a military trial. There is no difference. What will destroy America is idiots like you who can’t seem to understand that, and have completely forgotten 9/11.

He needs a bullet in his head, and if I were in charge of anything there would not be a single high profile prisoner taken alive from this day forward.

Civil courts require miranda right be observed. It would seem that all evidence acquired before the accused, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, was read his miranda rights would not be admissible in civil courts. Miranda rights would apply or this is just a show trial staged by Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr., and the Obama administration.

Yes, I disagree with most of you here. If you want to boot me for being liberal, go ahead, but if you want to actually discuss things, that's fine too. Is the general consensus here that the Constitution ceases to apply once someone is charged with terrorism? Once they're accused we can torture them, hold them without a trial, and convict them w/o even giving them an opportunity to present a full defense? Because if anything is going to destroy America, it's that.
