I am wondering how you can believe he will be that strong against the terrorists when he is on record saying they need attorneys and access to our legal system.

I always consider our military when I vote, and in the back of my mind I think he would be better for the military than Hillary or Obama- yet he did stab Rumsfield in the back and he did say he thinks Gitmo should be closed and we should handle terrorists like common criminals, in our courts- which leaves me puzzled about which direction he would really go with the war.

McCain’s statement that he wants to close Gitmo is pretty unsettling..But rather than put the detainees into the American Court system,. he might do better to set up a solid military tribunal system and let the detainees have access to military JAG attorneys, but not to the American court system..I think he is more concerned about abuses to the detainees which is understandable, but he needs to stay with the idea of an American Military Tribunal system with it’s own code of Military Justice..
