This doesn't work against the Islamist mindset. They don't care how they are perceived in the Western mind or point of view. They are at war with us, and have let us know so in very explicit terms. Nation state or not, this is an enemy that we are fighting on many different battlefields. These are no simple criminal acts. This show trial proves nothing to no one. And is in no way "fighting" against the very core of the jihadists. They are not deterred or demoralized by public trials in NYC. In fact, it gives them a stage with which to spout their political angst against the USA. I'm amazed that some of my fellow Americans refuse to call this what it is (war) because it simply doesn't involve "nation states". War has been declared against us. Anybody who believes 9/11 was a simple case of homicide is incredibly deluded.
Plus nobody has adequately answered the question of just how we get them a jury of their "peers". Or the possibility of what I posted about potential Muslims on the jury that refuse to convict a fellow Muslim in an "infidel" court....resulting in hung jury...and no conviction. That scenario seems very plausible to me.
