      When no civilians die during the trial (in which KSM will be convicted and in all likelihood get death), these omadhauns will claim the presence of Fox News headquarters scared the terrorists away.

      Yes. They could be deadly for the accused if found guilty. Isn't that what you want?

        The only safety I would be concerned about is the accused as well but even prior to a conviction. New Yorkers emotions will be running high and you know there are some crazies in Manhattan. Also, obama and the trial judge and attorneys are already talking like there is no doubt that these are the perpetrators. Obama did not say if we get a conviction, he said when we get a conviction. Obama of all people (civil rights litigation, taught constitutional law and was the editor of the law review) should know that such talk is guaranteeing a bias trial in which the defendants are guilty unless proven innocent. Can we leave the convictions to the jury? Or why even pretend like we are approaching this situation within the construct of our American democratic laws.

      How so?

      These guys are SOOOO scared of these trials, and I can't, for the life of me, figure out why. They act as if terrorist supporters are going to bum rush the courthouse once the trial starts to break out their buddies, and are going to destroy NYC in one fell swoop.

        Fox was pushing the outrage that in the first WTC trial there were actual scary Arab protestors outside the courthouse.

        Oh, the horror!!! Protestors!!! Will we ever be safe ever again!!!

      It’ll be a place for them to stand up and spread the terrible ideology that they adhere to - Dick Cheney



      Gee, Dick, how many people do you think there are who are unaware of that ideology. Do you really think there is a danger that they will win converts?

      I sure wish Dick's supporters were smart enough to understand all the contradictions in this dolt's rhetoric.

      I believe it. By the time the trials start beck and limbaugh will have the teabaggers so whipped up ther'll be a lynch mob 1,000 racists deep demanding the sheriff step aside so they can administer "justice".

        Bill Press laughed off the idea that the suspects could be found Not Guilty, and offered a listener to his radio show an "easy solution" if they are: "We will just broadcast, 'they will be let out of the courtroom at this entrance, at 1:10 PM,' or whatever, and the people of New York City will just tear them apart. Problem solved."

        Yes, a "progressive" on Air America radio endorsing lynch law "justice." Not Liberalism's proudest moment, that's for sure. I was beyond disgusted.

      Only as deadly as the catholic church trying to weasel its way further into our political debate.

      Why go through a trial? BECAUSE WE ARE A DEMOCRACY! Nazi war crimes were CRIMES DURING WAR!!! Terrorism is a crime during peace time. The military had nothing to do with 9/11 until the aftermath. Why would we try them in front of a military tribunal. Was mcveigh and Nichols or kazinsky put in front of a military tribunal. They were also terrorists. There is no difference here. You stick with what is established as the rule of law. Changing it does just because they are not American citizens seems arbitrary and not at all constitutional or democratic.

      Im a new yorker (living in nJ currently) and I think this is not only the best way but it proves to the world we are being fair. We are not hijacking our own democratic ideals to prosecute terrorists. We are letting one of the most sound legal systems in all the world bring mass murderers to justice.

      I think this sends a strong and powerful message to the world. After 8 years of horrendous abuse of power and all sorts of constitutional travesties and illegal and immoral acts, we once again have a chance to prove to the world that we have faltered from our ideals but we have not totally abandoned them because it may or may not be convenient.

      We are doing this the right way, the true American way of Equal justice under the law. I think GW and TJ would be proud of such a sight. Instead of taking the easy way out and abandoning the very ideals that maDE THE American democracy stand strong for over 200 years, when the situation becomes tumultuous, instead of choosing convenience, we are embracing the very fabric on which our constitution is written. I know for the first time in quite a while, I am very proud of this country's decision. And it will mean so much more to the families of the victims I think to watch murderers of their families and loved ones be brought to justice only blocks from the scene of the terrible tragedy.
