[Hoot Gibson]

According to statistics compiled by New York University's Center on Law and Security, since 2001 the criminal courts have convicted some one hundred fifty suspects on terrorism charges. Only three detainees--all of whom were apprehened abroad-- were convicted in military commissions at Guantanamo.

IN FACT, the makeshift military commission system set up by Bush to handle terrorism cases has never tried a murder case, let alone one as complex, or notorious, as that of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who will face the death penalty for the murder of nearly three thousand people.

Don't be fooled by Right Wing Flirty Party propoganda.

There is nothing complex about a trial of a mass murderer who has already confessed before a military tribunal. What is complex, convoluted, and incomprehensible is the reasoning behind this administration's desire to waste money on a civilian trial near ground zero.
