Justice is not an ideal served on impulse or emotion, it should be the result a consistent and fair trail system that deals with the cold hard facts, and we should not make an exception for these criminals just because we are angry.
Remember, we give them a trail because it is how we serve justice here in the United States and for no other reason alone.

Don't confuse the issue jeremy. These people could have received a fair trial in a military court. Military tribunals do not come without rights and accountability. And military tribunals are actually a better venue due to some of the nature of the evidence. I know liberals pretend that there's no rights or a chance of a fair trial in a military venue. But the truth is, they would have protected rights and a fair trial in such a venue with no danger to classified information. Nor would the taxpayer be footing the bill to give these dirtbags a soapbox for political ranting as their defense team has already said they would use it for. I don't care what you think about it, they're not entitled to a political soapbox on my dime.
Here's the danger....I'm betting that some of this evidence will bring to light in a public court many things that have national security consequences, such as national intelligence....ie...sources and methods of intelligence gathering. Brought to light in a public venue, it could be detrimental to national security, and make years of establishing intelligence contacts a waste. And worse, potentially put sources lives in danger, and eliminate long established methods of intelligence gathering. This is dangerous. Extremely dangerous really. And this wouldn't happen in a military tribunal. This show trial is political. Nothing more than that. It is an attempt for liberals to feel good about providing foreign terrorists "justice", and feeling righteous about it.
You can bet it will come with a price as well. Especially if there's enough evidence to fill an 18 wheel truck, and one juror (a fellow Muslim of his peers) decides he can't convict a fellow Muslim in an infidel court, and it becomes a hung jury. The American people will not take that lightly. Don't think that's possible?
