In this country or around the world? ... Are you trying to be a smartass, Sherman?

It could have been a legitimate question or a rhetorical one. You seem quick to conclusion jump either way.

These people are in this country. As such they are subject to our criminal laws, not the laws of war, regardless of how appropriate it might be to switch them into the other category.

So you think they should be treated just as other terrorists caught in this country have been treated, and executed? My question is how many of them have we executed according to law. Unless I’m quite mistaken, the answer is none.

In fact, I don’t believe we have legally executed any terrorists overseas, either. We’ve killed a good many of them, but to my knowledge none have been executed by process of law.
