Lowball estimates claim it’ll cost bankrupt NYC at least $75 million to hold this sham of a trial.
Again, not ONCE in the entire history of our Republic has an enemy combatant been captured on foreign soil, then granted all the rights of a US citizen, and tried in criminal court.
More proof as to why Demoncvrats should never be trusted to run our government. They ignore the rule of law, ignore all established precedent and protocol, and just make things up out of thin air to advance their own political agendas…

We’ve tried terrorists on our own soil before. Deal with it. It’s the Republicans who introduced strange new approaches to the “rule of law,” such as “we don’t wanna do it, and we want Congress to eliminate any minor obstacles like warrants.”

Just let New Yorkers have his sorry ass. We got some justice for him.

Last time they tried the terrorists they retaliated by bringing down the WTC..
of course we then retaliated by bringing down an entire terrorist supporting country. And that’s where we caught KSM..
Another big target painted on NYC….they are probably building their homicide vests and car or truck bombs as we speak in preparation for their murderous missions..
They couldn’t do that if we tried them at Gitmo with the military..
Live in NYC? be afraid, very afraid…Wake up people..there is no precedent for this.

The very people that are for this may have to pay the ultimate price while thinning down their herd.

Well it always has been survival of the fittest. I guess if there were fewer people it would be easier to provide for them…..I think they should be in wasington…I’d much rather thin that herd

“Just let New Yorkers have his sorry ass. We got some justice for him.”
Easy there fella! Talk like that might just force them to take them all back to Guantanamo! ;)

Very well done Mr Benson. Not only does it describe Lady Liberty’s resolve it also points in the direction the rider will go next. “Women aren’t afraid of us! Women aren’t afraid of us!” Which bothers them as much as the terrorists.

Well done, Benson.

Actually, Ken hasn’t a clue what the flag stands for. This was not a civilian crime, it was an act of war. The GOP is not afraid of bringing the trial to NYC, they just realize that to make this a civil trial is a travesty. I say lets sue the sun for all those people who have died of skin cancer resulting from recurring sunburns! It holds as much logic.

Individuals without status as a “state” cannot declare war. Al Qaeda is NOT a nation state- thus this was a criminal act.
Also, German POWs were tried for crimes committed on our soil, in our courts, during WW II.

Why don’t you libs just invite the GTMO terrorists to your Thanksgiving Dinner; you feel so sorry for them.
Loco80 said, about 1 hour ago
Troutmama - Individuals without status as a “state” cannot claim protection under the Geneva convention, either. We can waterboard and torture to our heart’s content if that is YOUR arguement. Fortunately, Americans as a whole understand that would be wrong, no matter the official rules. Even us conservatives. However, Al Qaeda, Iran, Islam, et al have declared a jihad, openly, and in no uncertain terms. If you want to put your ugly puss in the sand and pretend it doesn’t exist, that is your choice. The rest of us have lives to live.

and the statue will protect us and strike fear in the hearts of our enemies better than the military courts, yeah right.
