I would rather have the jury comprised of professional military jurists that a jury of civilians.

Yes, we should have had a professional military jury for the Ruby Ridge case as well. /sarcasm off. For me, the system of having the checks and balances of a citizen jury is too valuable to throw away because you might have voted differently on any particular case.

Once again ignorance or deliberate deception. All Bush has reserved to himself is the power to decide which suspects appear before the Military Court. That is needed if he and his legal advisors determine that public release of the evidence would endanger national security. He does NOT decide guilt or innocence just the court venue. End of story.
