What’s worng with this picture?"----------You conservatives just don't get it. It is far more scandalizing to these guys to bring them in front of judge judy. She'll excoriate them. We dems have it right. we can create jobs for those who want to work, and allow other dem layabouts like me to watch more tv. Its a win-win. “So Americans accused of terrorism can be executed via drone with no due process, but known terrorists are given the rights of citizens for their war crimes.

They are no more enemy combatants as are the Bloods and Crips. They should be tried by civilan courts ( as any common criminal) and either locked up for life or executed. The survivors of those people killed in 911 deserve the opportuinity to extract justice from these people.

This is a WAR not a crime!!!! No place for policemen only the military. This would be like dealing with Pearl Harbor with an arrest warrant for ToJo!!!! Posted by: grc46 | March 11, 2013, 1:13 pm 1:13 pm ------ This is NOT a war it is just called a war like everything else we disagree with each other on; a war on Christmas, a war on woman, a war on religion, etc. These people are criminals they do not represent a nation state. You can be at war with a nation state but you can not be at war with an idea or religion. You can not defeat an idea with a gun. I would prefer to call them international criminals then the respect of a worrier.

Since Obama took office he has demonstrated that Dems are quite capable of effectively dealing with threats to this country. We have successfully prosecuted 100's of terrorists in this country with nearly 100% success. THIS is what the Repubs can not tolerate...if they are not known as the party of defense then they are, as a party, only known as the party of the wealthy...they need the military to cover themselves. They just can not deal with loosing the mantle of the PARTY OF DEFENSE. Just too funny. Do any of you Repubs/Cons out there know how many terrorists we have successfully tried on US soil? By the way....I refuse to refer to these people as prisoners of war because that would be granting them some level of respect due a warrior, instead, I prefer to see them as just common sociopaths who enjoy killing for the sake of killing and do not deserve the respect shown a brave worrier.
