indeed, the civilian justice system is incapable of handling cases like this.

I would ask all the naysayers on this thread:

if Osama Bin Laden landed on a plane at OHare airport tomorrow night, would you give him a civilian trial? what would you do with him?

You doubt he would get the death penalty or at least life?

Personally, if I see him I'll shoot the sonuvabitch. I take 9/11 bpth persoanlly and seriously being a native New yorker.

Drop him off at Ground Zero.

After broadcasting for a few days exactly when it would happen.

Osama bin Laden is not a United States citizen. Hang him, shoot him, launch him into orbit; it's all the same to me. United States citizens have special and undeniable rights as such. When you deny those rights to one, you deny those rights to all. If Padilla can be disappeared, so can you or I.

I would ask those who support the executive on this issue:

If Hillary Clinton gets elected President and has Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, and Jim Robinson thrown in military brigs as enemy combatants, will you defend her right to do so without question or interference from the courts?

Shoot first and ask questions later.
