Thanks for uploading this! - A terrorist attack should not be an excuse for sacrificing our long held values.

@im4wur2 One of our long held values is self defense. KSM has no right to a lawyer, or a trial. By all rights he should have been summarily shot. That we even gave him a chance to defend himself in a military tribunal is more a testament of our softness in the face of hate.

@TheLastBrainLeft - What you advocate is contrary to the principles upon which this nation was founded. Furthermore, to proceed as you suggest would destroy the foundation of our society and any claim this country has to the moral high ground (which is the most effective weapon against global terrorism). - Clearly, you haven't thought through the consequnces of your position.

@TheLastBrainLeft - Ever heard of the "presumption of innocence"? Do you know what it means? Do you understand the significance of the phrase? Do you know what it means to be an American?

@TheLastBrainLeft - Generations of Americans have died to uphold the principles and values you so cavalierly dismiss. - "...that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the People, for the PEOPLE, shall not perish from the earth." -Sound familiar?
