>>On due process - it seems as if the due process that both GWB and now Obama have agreed on is the due process of a hellfire missile. The idea that it is okay to execute a terrorist with a missile but IF they are captured, they are due a civilian trial seems silly to me. We shoot hellfire missiles at threats to the USA that are worthy of being attacked by the military. Obviously only certain human targets are worthy of being attacked with hellfire missiles - those are the guys that do not deserve civilian trials, IMO. << I thought I had dealt with that argument. If you're just going to repeat it, I'm going to have to reconsider whether or not to make the effort to have meaningful discussions with you. As for the question of the second attack on the Trade Center, do you think putting the conspirators on trial in a military court instead of a civilian court would have made any difference? Seriously?
