Then arrest him off of US Soil. You can't have your cake and eat it to at the expense of the US Constitution.
LOL. Well I got a kick out of reading your posts too! You seem overly concerned about this new Department of Homeland Security. This I dont understand since the people doing the spying are already doing it, with or without a department of homeland security.
Sorry to sound derogatory but you are playing games.
You're the one who slapped, SS. Not me. Where in my original post did I share Christ? Where in my original post does it depict me as an evangelical? This is your way of attempting to stir the pot. You have a beef against people who believe in creation. Fine. No need to be rude and nasty to anyone.
Oh bullcrap!!! I suppose you think the guys that killed Danny Pearl have "feelings" too.. and what about their feelings?? ....wahhhhhhh
Look, I happen to trust this country a heck of a lot more than you do. The only people who need fear any changes are people with ill intent!!
We have so many safety nets in our Constitution that I'm not worried. Security is paramount at this time.
You may as well get used to the idea.. cause it is gonna happen.
Did you see the video of Danny Pearl being murdered? Do you think they have rights to a fair trial?
Enough already!!!
Get a clue.. go look at Danny's video..then if you still feel all warm and gushy about these evilmongers.. go try to talk to them, k?

There were some disruptors on the thread then Grammie and I got into it (fun stuff) and many others joined in. After about post 200 or so we get silly anyway. Just a way to let loose I suppose. Fun though.
Yes I understand this, and they were CHARGED, TRIED AND HUNG BY A MILITARY TRIBUNAL. I do not have a probelm with this guy being charged and tried by the military. This is war. However, i do have aproblem with a US Attorney not being able to make the charges stick in a Federal Court and then having the Federal Government turn anyone over to the Military without charges. NO ONE THE AG< POTUS DIRFBI has said "TO BE CHARGED". He is being detained that is all. We have a Constitution we don't want to suspend some of its provisions? Then follow it.
Yes, Mujahir IS a native born citizen. In addition, he not only confessed, there is corroborating evidence which supports his confession. He therefore changed from a little fish up on a routine charge but under suspician to a Big Fish because the suspicions about him have been confirmed.
Zacharrias Moussaoui is not a US citizen. He is a French national, who was here on a student visa ( I think it was a student visa ) Moussaoui has NOT been as forthcoming as Mujahir apparently has, because Moussaoui is attempting to circumvent US law with Islamic law. I have not heard the judge is asking for ANY such proof of federal sources as some claim. I only know the DEFENSE asked for more time, which wasn't granted, then the fed asked for more time, and it was.
The cases, charges and nationalities of the perps is different, that's all.
If you wonder about Jihad Johnnie....he insists that he only wanted to join the Taliban; that he hadn't planned to meet girls...and he's from California and his parents have money and his father is gay...well...I imagine you know how THAT part works.
This is a very foolish position. In times of war it is necessary to separate crimes of war from ordinary criminal proceedings. The mere fact that he met with foreign terrorists several times is enough to convict him in a military tribunal. This is as it should be. Do you want this guy and those like him free to bomb your kids? Well your position will insure that they are free to do just that.
I dont know that they are charging him with treason, only with conspiracy to kill Americans, lower threshold. They also arrested his conspirator in Pakistan. If they knew what the two were talking about and were tracking him all the way through the Middle East and Europe before he came back, I would think they must have done some electronic surveillance on him.

First I have a clue. Secondly, don't feed this to me. How dare you pound the Pearl case to me. I got pissed with those jerks at the Wall Street Journal who wanted their friends in the Press to white wash the pictures and NOT use the "Beheading word on TV or in print". Remeber Higgins? He got prime-time for his hanging for a month.
BTW I have no simpathy for Terrorist, since I have chased bad-guys for 20 years. I do have a problem when we do not do things equally and trash the Constitution which I hold dearly. Either read all my post or you give me a break,
LOL...well, that MIGHT give some positive effect.
