But by your reply, can we assume you support civilian trials for Al Quida terrorists as opposed to military tribunals?

Hate to butt in, but how does military tribunals for captured alien un-uniformed terrorist equate to American citizens denied of their Constitutional rights? Don’t think there is any parralell. Just sayin.

If you have missed the news for the last several years, there are many American citizens working for Al Quida both overseas and right here in the good ol' US of A.

Say they start blowing up things, would you support suspending habeas corpus to be able to take the known suspects them off the streets before they kill more people? Or would you let them continue spreading death and chaos until they can be captured red handed?
