Sorry, I was totally confused about this trial. Don’t know what I was thinking about. I think I was thinking about the Blago trial or something.
These terrorists trials should be in military court or tribunals though. Liberal federal judges have an agenda that is not ours.

I agree that they should be handled by military tribunals. There is too much evidence in most of these cases that can't be introduced in a public trial. I don't suggest reducing the burden of proof, but you can't release highly classified data or expose sources in order to have a public trial. Keeping such things hidden from the jurors however leaves gaps and creates doubts, quite possibly reasonable doubts since they may have reasonable questions that can't be answered.
