I wholeheartedly support the use of military tribunals and it's upheld by the US Supreme Court.

Personally, I am opposed to the death penalty, but in the case of acts of war the perpetrators are entitled to the fruits of war.

The American people have suffered enough. The is no just reason to require the American people to make a case against an openly avowed foreign enemy who seeks death for Americans.

We have no obligation to offer the enemy the opportunity to seek our mercy.

We are a sovereign nation. We have the right to our own justice and our own defense. Surrender that, and you will have world-order tyranny.

Who decides if the civilian is a foreign enemy or not?

If a legal alien is arrested and charged with a cime, who decides whether or not he is to be tried before a military tribunal? And, to whom does he appeal this decision?
