MSI, please consider Ike's argument regarding public trials. If there were to be public trials, "justice" would be neither swift nor sure...jj

OBL will turn any open court proceedings to world media circus, moral equivalence would be drawn his fight for throne of Saudi Arabia will be made a war between Islam and Christianity, in this inter connected world with 1.2 billion people who potentially can believe in such nonsense, I have absolutely no doubt that it is unaffordable for our society to go through that process. Running passengers planes into buildings or killing children with human loaded bombs in malls is in not any way allowed to be made a free ad to promote these sick ideas. OBL open case will dwarf OJ case media interest, his open appeals will find new followers, not that otherwise we would not but lets not make it too easy for them, lets play by their rule and interpretation of rights. Those 8 missionaries were being tried, was it an open court, and OBL called that the right kind of justice the kind of justice he would subject himself too. Military courts for such individuals are tailor-made.
