Let’s see what a trial of the terrorists held at Gitmo would entail.
Have these prisoners been read their Miranda rights before being questioned?
Case dismissed.
Trials involved evidence. Has the evidence of their involvement in jihad against the US military remained clear, pristine and pure? Was the evidence gathered on the battlefield by special criminal police units and stored in little plastic bags?
Case dismissed.
Trials involve witnesses. How many troops shall we bring back to hang around the courthouses until they are called to testify? Shall we stop the war until the trials are over?
Johnny Jihad has dropped his AK47 and surrenders. He’s taken to Gitmo. He now claims he is really an innocent sheep farmer rounded up by the Fascist troops of Bushhitler in Operation Gather Innocent Lambs. If we can’t convince the O.J. or Michael Jackson juries, what are the chances here?
Trials involve an accusation of wrongdoing. Is there a federal law against shooting at American troops on foreign soil? Is waging jihad against Americans on foreign soil a crime?
If crimes were committed on foreign soil isn’t it the responsibility of those sovereign governments to prosecute those crimes? Aren’t we acting as imperialist bullies if we prosecute foreign nationals for crimes committed outside of the U.S?
Just asking.
