The reasons to do this would be:

a) To establish the legality of the practice, in case it needed to happen on a mass scale.
b) To avoid putting terrorism suspects into civilian courts.

In 1942 the US arrested, tried, convicted, and executed a group of NAZI saboteurs who were smuggled into the US via U-boat. They were tried by military tribunals on US soil. Some of them even had dual US-German citizenship. There's already precedent for trying saboteurs by military tribunals on US soil regardles of who apprehended them.

Well, I say it's time to apprehend Obama, Pelosi, Reed, Franks, Dodds, Schumer, Watters and the rest of the commie scum.

IIRC, it was and still stands as the fastest (not the largest) mass executions in US History. One guy turned himself in and spilled the beans about the operation. After we caught the other two, they were all tried and executed. the whole execution from 1st Nazi to last Nazi took less than 4 minutes. I tried googling that incident about a month ago and didn’t find anything. can you point me somewhere to read about it?
