There should be nobody in the courtroom, IMO, that should know any classified military information other than military or authorized intelligence officials, and that includes a civilian judge and particularily the scum of all scum, that being a trial lawyer. Period.


I have no doubt that that is exactly the way it would be handled in a military tribunal. As I said this nation has operated well for the past 234 years with that methodology. Do you dispute that?

What I dispute, in reality, is the notion that it was irresponsible or stupid or somehow unpatriotic to suggest that America was capable of trying Khalid Mohammed in a criminal court without our society crumbling and national security exploding. As long as Khalid Mohammed has a day in court that is fair, with an impartial evaluation of evidence and testimony, I have no problems trying him in a military tribunal, though I would prefer a criminal court in the shadow of the crime scene.
