Why try the 'terrorist' in public courts?

Don't confuse the issue jeremy.

That rich since you are so confused over the issue that you are totally lost.

However, leaving these foreign terrorists in the military justice system wouldn't have done anything to destroy America's principles of legal justice, sense of fairness, or freedoms. I actually think that moving them to the public court system is something that can be damaging to "justice".

You simply don't understand, the government screwed up on the legal issues(basicly by trying to avoid the legal issues), it is as a result oftheir screw ups that now the detainees are having to go through the civil courts.
The damage done to the principles of legal justice was the attempt to dodge aspects of the legal system.
Moving them to the public couts isn't damaging justice , it's a belated attempt at damage limitation.

Military Court is the place to conduct trials.

I ask again. Under what law.

Jihad is Jihad

Can you define that word?
Can you then find one of the defininitions that would be relevant to a legal case?

I think in WW2 any traitor was basically shot for treason. So what is the problem here?

WW2 was a war, it was between states.
Since WW2 civil, military and international laws have all changed(in case you didn't realise that is why the legal example of US treatment of German agents was rejected as a precedent)
