They got a fair trial...

POSTED: Monday, December 22, 2008, 7:54 PM

....in an American courtroom with rules of evidence and a civilian jury, which reached a deliberative verdict. So if we could do it for them, why not do it for these guys:

Verdict just proves that these guys were morons who really did not have a clue, swifty. Doing a lot of talking may make a conspiracy, but there was carrying out and most likely would not have been any action. As shown during the trial, the informant fomented much of the discussion and these idiots were dumb enough to go along. If I talk to my neighbor about robbing a bank I could be convicted of conspiracy. That I'd ever do it is not the question. These idiots were not convicted of the most serious charge: attempted murder as the jury saw that they could not pull off this plot. Just like the fools in Chicago who got led on by a government informer. Dumbees with grandiose plans going nowhere.

Yet another cut-and-paste rant from sloboat. At least if he's going to post a rant, maybe he could write it himself? I miss Arn.

Mike I has it right. These are bad guys and they seem to deserve to be punished, but they would never have gone as far as they did without goading from the paid informants. Left to themselves, it certainly would have just been talk and even with the push from the informant, it did not get much farther than that. This is a far cry from an Al Queda plot.

Hey Wil, you still don't get it! Guantanamo detainees are unlawful enemy combatants. Caught in a battle zone and not belonging to a uniformed army. Some of those released from Gitmo have been captured again! They want me dead. They want you dead. They want us all dead!Dead,dead,dead. Why are you more concerned about their "rights" than our safety? I will never understaand the left's affinity for these murders. They are BAD people. You can't rehab them. You can't make them nice or love us. Sheesh!

I say we build them a house, right next to Mr. Bunch's. What do you say Will? They can be rehabilitated right? Just let them listen to a few of Bam's soaring speeches, they'll be volunteering for their local Democratic war leader in no time.

"The presumption of innocence doesn'apply." Says it all, the "terrorists" have already won.
