Only idiots like Che and Mao dispense with trials.

I think you are missing the point. This is not a question about whether law abiding citizens deserve due process. This is a question as to whether we should give due process to terrorists, hardened criminals and liberals
You don't need a trial to legally shoot an intruder in your home. Even defending your car against hijacking is protected.
You are right. While I certainly understand and agree with the author's anger over PC rum amok, he goes off the deep end in taking the position that Nichols should not have a trial. Our military doesn't gun down surrendering terrorists, the pliuce shouldn't gun down surrendering suspects either. It's one of the things that separates us from Bin Laden and his pals.
Mr. Williams' outrage would be better directed against a corrupt judicial system where Nichols will have 15-20 years worth of appeals, millions in attorney's fees paid to the ACLU, the SPLC and other assorted Marxist organizations with tax dollars, and all the rest. A century ago, Nichols would have been tried and executed in a few months' time if found guilty. Nowadays, we have cold-blooded killers who are celebrated "radio-journalists" for NPR (Mumia), or leftist folk heroes (Rideau in LA).
We have become such a nation of moral cowards that we are unable to make these evildoers face their just executions on an electric chair, a gallows, or by a firing squad. Instead, they are given narcotics to be euthanized like pets at the veterinarian. The way things are going, we can expect the Mullahs sitting on the Federal bench to ordain that the death penality is "unconstitutional" because an court ruling in Zimbabwe within five years at the outside - in a opinion authored by a "conservative" jurist like Sandra Day O'Connor.
