not being allowed due process ...the creation of an illegal Military tribunal...

Just FYI, use of the uniformed code of military justice allows for due process, it is legal, and does not automatically imply guilt and sentencing. It just applies the laws of uniformed soldiers to these terrorist soldiers, in compliance with internationally agreed conventions, and avoids the circus of Johnny Cochroach lawyers that would surround criminal justice proceedings. Defendents are still entitled to their own lawyers if they desire, and proceedings are very similar, again without the media circus, to criminal trials. The case is usually decided by a panel of judges instead of an easily manipulated jury of welfare recipients, soccer moms, and retirees that have no idea whether or not to believe DNA evidence.

Peolple have this knee jerk reaction that anything "military" is by definition unfair. These creeps will be getting a trial of fairness and due process far in excess of what they deserve, not to mention far better than the summary execution or torture that would be delivered to American POW's were the situation reversed. They are fortunate that we putting forth the effort to capture and try them, for this is far better treatment than they give even their own followers.

'easily manipulated'? As if Judges are exempt from this category?

I suppose the 'donning' of black robes, changes people instantly to some sort of 'God-Like fashion.'

Just FYI, the "Uniform" part is how the military justice is dispensed, i.e. regardless of rank or anything else(not that they wear a uniform), and it strictly applies to US servicemen just like civil law applies to us all, I don't think the UCMJ is going to be their guideline.
