If the military convicts a terrorist of a capital crime they won't be wasting billions of taxpayers dollars appealing. I suspect justice would be dispatched swiftly.

There shouldn't be any reason whatsoever to stop that. How about...keeping their comrades from coming on to our shores to spring the bastards....?

"I don't like using civilian courts for non-US citizens either." What do you have against the Constitution?

I'm not as concerned about them escaping after conviction as I am that a judge will dismiss charges against them before they're convicted because of the rules we have to protect the accused. Then there is the issue of using the civilian court as a propaganda platform and the prospect the trial will draw terror attacks to NYC or wherever its held. Furthermore, I know this whole issue is unnecessary: On December 8, 2008, Mohammed and four co-defendants sent a note to the military judge expressing their desire to confess and plead guilty. ^ a b Reuters wire service (December 8, 2008). "Sept. 11 Defendants Ask to Plead Guilty". The New York Times. nytimes.com. "Top 9/11 suspects to plead guilty". BBC News. December 8, 2008. news.bbc.co.uk. Why didn't Obama and Holder just let the process, which has been determined to be legal, to continue.
