"Graham is also a former military lawyer and, along with the entire legal leadership in the US military, opposes Bush’s military kangaroo courts. “It would be unacceptable legally in my opinion to give someone the death penalty in a trial where they never heard the evidence against them,” he said of the White House proposal. “‘Trust us, you’re guilty, we’re going to execute you, but we can’t tell you why’? That’s not going to pass muster; that’s not necessary.” It’s also, well, not American."
Kangaroo Courts???!!! Where's these guys from? the Moon?
If I were in a simular postition, "I" would not have the right to view classified information in my trial.... and I'm a US citizen! By these guys' definition, ALL US courts are Kangaroo Courts!
Start all over, morons. Fix it for me, first, ...LOL ... if you think it's such a brilliant idea. THEN, we can talk about foreign terrorist thugs.
I've just about had it with that Graham guy.
John McCain was covered under the Geneva Convention, and by his own self serving and endless recountings of his captivity, it is clear that he got zero protection from it.
If these Pattons in panties, Graham, Webb, Powell, Warner and their adherents in the media want to distort history, lets have at it. By their reconing, if you did not wear the uniform, you are not qualified to comment on military affairs.
I'll throw my twelve years of active duty into the pile, and I'm sure there are thousands of other years of uniformed military service on this forum that can wash these pricks away. Lets engage them.
I pay fairly close attention to the news, but I have never heard any suggestion of the death penalty for any detainees. (until Graham brought it up).

Hmmm...Im starting to wonder about that myself..Freepers....Tell me what U think >> http://www.apfn.org/apfn/flag.htm
If you want to know what the law IS, never ask a lawyer. He only knows what he would like it to be as applied to this case. If he can persuade the jury as to the facts and get the judge to agree with him onb the law, he wins. But going in, his opinion of the law is just that--opinion.
