Again you fail to understand differences. Pos was a military member tried by GCM. The UCMJ is the source of the appeals process. It seems like six years should be long enough to exhaust appeals and get to the hanging part of the exercise.
Should be, isn't. Death sentences by fed courts of any kind are politicized.
KSM's trial is hazarded by his stay @ the Waterboard Inn.
Things can change, but recent history doesn't support the claim that military justice works more quickly than civilian courts.
A different system, the comparison would be the German saboteurs' trial.
Is it likely, xone, that POTUS with some patriotic like-minded military folks could stream-line the tribunal process (in line with regs, of course? i.e. get rid of political delays etc?
