Interesting supposition.

Due process for those who would fly a plane into a building; would be that they be catapulted into a brick wall.

This one slipped under the radar.

As ever, Freepmail me if you don't want to be pinged.

I want to thank you for the pings you send me. I appreciate them and thanks for this one too. We should all try to be as informed as much as possible. Thanks again.

To think; the ACLU has already begun bleeting & wringing their filthy hands at the mere suggestion of this.
...and it ain't even events that'll happen on American soil they're whining about, at that.

Thanks for the ping, packrat. I think this is only logical. This is a military (as in WAR) problem, not some bow tied bunch of attorneys.

[eureka!]

Bump.

A declaration of war would make military tribunals perfectly acceptable. Military tribunals in wartime have jurisdiction over non-citizens in cases under military jurisdiction and do not deprive citizens of access to civil courts for civil offenses.

Military tribunals are illegitimate without either a declaration of war or establishment of martial law.

Thanks for alerting me to this thread!

Thanks for the ping!
"Mr. bin Laden, you are to be hanged by the neck until dead. May G-D have mercy on
your miserable soul."
I get excited just thinking about some military tribunal getting the last shot at that jerk!

I just received word of this this morning, and I have been behind Bush's actions, to include the exemption of attorney-client privilege as far as tapping. We are at war, and in war the rules change, but heaven help us if this is abused. I don't think anyone can forget the pictures of Waco and the Elian raid.

We really have never experienced war on our shores before. One thing, we must now be effective to eradicate terrorism since we have failed miserably in the past. Our legal system has become so convoluted, but nonetheless, it is our legal system. I really do not know the answer, but it seems absolutely absurd that folks who gave to 9-11 victims are paying for the attorneys of those who are accused of declaring war on us. Maybe the Bush administration is ensuring justice will be done. I sure don't want to pay one red cent for the protection of these vermin.

Thanks for the ping.

Your second statement is well stated: the punishment should fit the crime.

[XBob]

thanks for the ping - I recommend the guilty be put into a 20 ton hydraulic press, then doused with gasoline and set on fire as the press slowly comes down.

[SusanUSA]

Thank you for the ping. This is an excellent and informative article. Will be back to read the replies in the morning.

I do, however, have a question. An honest question, not meant to stir up any anger. I keep hearing we are at war, and now this. But when did Congress declare war?
