And once again, the GOP's preference prevails! Hopefully, the voters will see we're safer in GOP hands :)

I would like to hear about how they demolished building 7. Maybe we can see a video of a plane hitting the pentagon. The defense can also show how steel structures can not fall from fire alone. I wonder if they will show traces of nano thermite in the dust. Why does the 911 commision say they were doomed to fail. They spent more money investigating Clinton that they did for 911 commision. So many inconsistancies. Should ask for new investigation

Can I volunteer the city of Los Angeles?

After living in many U.S cities, I can say with confidence that no big city is tougher to it's core than LA.

We deal with earthquakes, wildfires, gangs, floods, gun vioIence, tornadoes, wind storms, serial kiIIers, cops like the ones from Superbad, celebrity divorces, wild bears, mountain lions and smog. Sometimes all at once. We do not fear T-rorists.

If there are outrageous security costs, those costs will be in keeping the T-rorists safe from US.

9-11 conspirator Zacarious Moussaoui and 1993 World Trade Center bomber Ramzi Ahmed Yousef.

Both of these guys where tried in US courts. Where was the outrage at this? WHy are New Yorkers wimps? Everyday I hear the folks on the right rail at this they sound like wimps.

What I really do not get is why do the dems announce something and then take FOREVER to get it done. They started on Health Care Reform last spring and still do not have it finished! What they don't get is when you throw something out there and leave it you set yourself up to have tomatoes thrown at you about the whole deal. Here's an idea...Plan it...Announce it...Execute plan...Make it happen. This is why democrats usually fail at their agendas.

He's a foreign terrorist. Not a criminal. Get him outa here. I'd like it if nobody ever saw or heard from him again.

This whole program of treating them as criminals is a dead loser for Dems and they need to unload it as soon as possible.

And, Peyton Manning is calling the Saints defense to ask them what he should do in the Super Bowl? Get real, dude.

Why does the white house continue to let the right set the agenda

[sc300nc]

08:54 AM on 01/29/2010

because they are weak and ineffective.

[kmswriter]

08:57 AM on 01/29/2010

and the righties are fearmongers and very afraid...so misguided - let those who live the truman story someday find the door to the real world..

So weak and ineffective that right now, in that same city, in that same court there is a trial going on of a t.e.r.r.or.is.t. OBL's driver. Why is there no outrage ?

[kent4620]

09:03 AM on 01/29/2010

Because they are GOOD at it.

Even if this story is a plant - i say let the bidding wars begin - i have no problem with them conducting the trials here or any other state - imagine the jobs and the state income tax revenue in security salaries alone - never mind the restaurants and hotels... i say let the states vie for the rights to the trial..

They should be tried in a military tribunal at Gitmo, period.

There is no need and no precedent to grant Constitutional rights to enemy combatants. They don't even qualify for Geneva Convention protections.

Why are you so afraid of trying them as criminals?

[obama20082012]

Why are GOPer's afraid of everything?

[sc300nc]

08:56 AM on 01/29/2010

Nobody is afraid. Why give them rights they do not deserve?

Why are you so afraid of trying them in a military tribunal?

These guys deserve what they gave, a horrific death.

[ljc]

09:13 AM on 01/29/2010

Sure, because military tribunals have been sooooooooooooooo successful that they have convicted 3 people so far, while the Federal courts have convicted a couple hundreds right here in the US.

Americans just want the truth to come out (about Bush and Cheney Co.)

Republicans don't want the truth to come out (about Bush and Cheney Co.) The defense will use torture as their main defense, so the charges will be changed to tax evasion punishable by life in prison.

I don't get it? These guys attacked NY and should be tried there. They are criminals. They are NOT war criminals. What you conservatives don't get is that when you try them as war criminals, then you turn them into tried and true jihadist(s). They then transform into icons around the world and a rally call to other young-wanna-be terrorists by proclaiming this war is on Islam and it's NOT!

Terrorists are criminals and should be tried as such.

P.S.

I am writing my entire Masters thesis on this topic at the Johns Hopkins University. All of my research from experts on the field of terrorism all agree that terrorists are no more than glorified criminals.

You can take them out in the alley and shoot them for all I care.

They are enemy combatants. Period, end of story.

They deserve nothing except a painful death.

[AfricanLivedit]

Sigh, how does one argue with someone like yourself? You are basing an argument on feelings and convictions ... not facts or reality.

[Threepointturn]

08:34 AM on 01/29/2010

They are not enemy combatants. Enemy combatants are people fighting against our government. Some have been calling them the "Party of No". It's okay to be a teabagger, but not if you are in the Senate.

You need to expand your research beyond academia.
