Right wingers are afraid of their own shadows. What a bunch of girlly men.

[TrustKovacss]

fear mongering 101

[tejaspics]

This guy is right. We should all be scared shitless, cowering in fear and shaking in our boots.

The point is Gitmo is a much safer place to try these terrorist. Exposing the citizens of New York City and DC to this risk is unnecessary. New York City is already the #1 target to a re-attack

What point is accomplished by bringing these high risk terrorist to the US?

Course you Libs don't understand risk, as you think that 9-11 was our own fault.

I bet none of the people who made this decision have their family exposed to danger, do you understand now, If not I can write in chalk for you.

[CommonSenseJoe]

Military tribunals do not expose civilians to the dangers of terrorism and not them a target because of their involvement in a trial. They have proven themselves effect already.

Jon Stewart ripped this guy a new asshole.

Uh, not young, and most certainly not dumb. It's hard to even count the errors in your comment. Suffice it to say that you're wrong about every single point you are making. All of them.

Are you even aware of basic facts of the last 20 years. We have ALREADY tried and convicted various terrorists in our criminal court system, with civilian lawyers and judges, without incident. It's most certainly NOT against the law.

[MrSTANDFORAMERICA]

i'm not sure why you can't understand. young or dumb, hell I'm not sure.

They want to put these terrorist on trial in a civilian court,under civilian laws,with civilian laywers and a civilian judge and a civilian jury.

when that where arrested by the militay at a time of war while the nation was at war. That is against the law. That alone will force the judge to have to let the go on day one.If the judge doesn't means that our court system is now all out communist controlled. Obama knows this.

[baritone68]

Please explain, or cite evidence to show why you think that military tribunals are in any way more effective than criminal trials for terrorism cases.

[baritone68]

Do you have a point, or do you just like to talk about those who disagree with you being beheaded? That's a very cowardly way to argue your point, sir.

[baritone68]

This comment could hardly be stupider and more ignorant. Were you TRYING to be stupid and ignorant, southernman, or is it a natural gift?

DC and NY were both attacked on 9/11, as anyone with two neurons to rub together will recall. Given this fact, what the heck is your point? Would you like to revise your bullshit argument?

[ride4ruin]

Of course, this is not to say I support any restriction in exchange for protection, there are many cases of governments going too far throughout history, the patriot act being merely one example.

However, I do think the phrase is overly simplistic, as to be able to exercise liberty you must first give up at least some potential liberty. In the end, gravitating toward one extreme can be just as devastating to society as the other.
