Key '9/11 plotter' due in court
 
Looks like the process will soon begin and depending on the outcome a lot of people may eventually get some closure.

Quote:

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other men accused of plotting the 9/11 attacks are to be charged by a military tribunal at Guantanamo Bay.

Jim Harrington, the civilian lawyer for Ramzi Binalshibh, told Associated Press that although his client had previously said he was "proud" of his role in the attacks he had "no intention of pleading guilty".

Having been duly convicted by a nation of laws, the only sentence they deserve is to stay at some prison for the rest of their lives. Leavenworth has some nice isolated cells in the basements. No interviews, no statements, no followers, no martyrdom, no press coverage. We need to pull a Noriega on these guys, but in this case for life.

They need to be forgotten like the blot on humanity they are. We need to demonstrate that they are nothing to fear.

I agree. They must be treated like common criminals rather than allow them to become 'martyrs' in the eyes of other criminals. Send them down and let them rot.

But they wouldn't rot. They'd get 2 hots and a cot, 30 minutes of exercise per day, the best medical care the government system can provide, guaranteed visits from the International Red Cross, and continued access to legal counsel constantly working for their release.

Remember, we're "the good guys" (tm). They'd be treated way better than they "deserve".

I'm not a big eye for an eye fan; however, they deserve the same fate as the wicked witch of the east, only with a much bigger house.

Keeping filth like this alive is just a waste of the tax payers money.

While i think it right to give them no martyr status by locking them away i really hope you did not mean that Noriega thingie earnest ? :shifty:

Problematic situation. Its hard to decide what would be good way to treat them if court finds them guilty.

Killing them would be both good and bad thing. In other hand it would be appropriate for their crime but in other hand it would make them 'martyrs' which is a bad thing.

Locking them into their own isolation cell for rest of their lives would deny 'martyr' status but it would be gross wasting of tax payers money.

Good that somebody else has to make the call.

My reference to Noriega was a reference to how he served his sentence in US prison -- no interviews, no press. I think most Americans forgot he was even there. That's the only comparison I meant. These scum need to be forgotten. Their acts won't be forgotten.

Platapus 05-06-12 11:07 AM

As a "waste of taxpayer money" this would rank pretty far down on the list.

Jimbuna 05-06-12 11:09 AM

I'm honestly thinking the only penalty if convicted can be death...otherwise evry hostage in the future will be used as a means of trying to garner their release.

It was good enough for Bin Liner it should be good enough for them.

Why would they have visits from the IRC? They are not prisoners of war, but criminals. The IRC does not visit other criminals even foreign nationals we have in prison.
