Weasels In the Courtroom Coming to New York

Here's the state of modern jurisprudence. They don't know if the 9/11 victims were murdered or what "bad" means. This is illuminating, especially on the question of weasel thinking. It is certainly true that if you're going to try these people in U.S. criminal court they deserve a competent defense and a fair trial. The question of course is whether a criminal trial is appropriate for enemy combatants. I don't think so, but your mileage may differ. BTW I'm not sure Bill O'Reilly badgering this guy is entirely fair. He's a member of the defense team apparently and his job is to defend the guy so why would you expect him to take any positions at all publicly that might compromise the trial. The question is really why a person who participated in an act of war should be treated like a common criminal? Bad precedent that goes to very bad places from the standpoint of national security. The president and the justice department should be ashamed of themselves.
