quote:Doesnt this happen in civil courts too?
The trial may be open to the press and public, but it can also be closed at any time by the presiding officer or Pentagon officials.
quote:Would it honestly be fair for someone who speeks little to no English to represent theirself?
Defendants cannot represent themselves. They must accept a military lawyer assigned to them.
quote:I'm in the military and yet I still have to have a clearance done, it is nothing major. Hell if you have a good memory or a decent address book it takes all of 20 minutes to fill out the packet! They are making that sound harder than it is.
They can also have a civilian lawyer, at their own expense, but this lawyer must be an American citizen and must be cleared by the Pentagon for access to classified information.
quote:A civilian does not have the right to know everything. Some secrets must be kept. Now, a military lawyer would still be present though.
Even with these qualifications, the civilian lawyer, along with the defendant and public, can be excluded from a trial session if “protected” information—a vaguely defined category much broader than “classified”—is presented by the prosecution.

quote:Er, what about the ones that can speak English, like the British citizens.
Would it honestly be fair for someone who speaks little to no English to represent their self?
quote:In that case, if you did kill a lot fo people deliberately and while in a sane state of mind, then you and I agree completely.
Like I said at the begining, if I killed alot of people or belonged to a group that killed alot of people just because they wanted to, do I deserve to be treated fairly? I still say no.

quote:This is a line used by many people to keep the status quo. Just because one person who says something isn't right can't give a foolproof alteratnite doesn't make the original wrong right.
So Dom, riddle me this, what would you do that would be so much better?
quote:Like I said, most probably not. Not even Bin Laden's senior staff knew about the 9/11 attacks - so I find it unlikely that a bunch of amateur fighters training in Afghanistan would have been directly involved in 9/11. You're judgement is clouded by the desire for revenge.
I mean these people are accomplices to 3000 murders

quote:you're already parting on the fact that they are guilty as sin. whatever happened to "innocent until proven guilty"? reminds me of a quote of George Bush's in reference to those hled in guantanamo and eligible for the trials:
the fact that these guys are getting trials is amazing to me. I am supprised that they just arnt lined up and shot by every American that owns a gun

I live in a world of infinite possibilities.

Hrm this changes a few things I take it ehh Dom?
quote:Well, I'm not a mind reader, but when it comes to 9/11 you might remember that soon afterwards there was a video released featuring a senior Al Qaeda member who worked constantly with Bin Laden. It was used as proof that Bin Laden was involved in 9/11. In that video he talks about when they found out about 9/11, and how smug Bin Laden loked. He tells that most people in Al Qaeda's inner circle didn't know about the attacks. So I'm assuming they weren't having open planning sessions in the training camps and getting everyone to help make Al Qaeda branded box cutters for the hijackers.
How would you know who knew what?
quote:Understand that you cannot have revenge, you cannot get even. The US will NEVER be 'even' with those who carried out the 9/11 attacks, because they were suicide attacks. Sorry, it's a tough deal, but that's life, sometimes you just have to move on.
you would exchange prisoners, and call things even? Yep justice was done there!
