#1 "The best way to serve justice is give him the ultimate penalty he deserves."

Sentence first, trial by jury after!

So, riddle me this: how is it "justice" if the verdict and the sentence are known in advance?

Or is the whole point of this show trial really to indict the Bush administration's methods?

#2 The difference is Moussaoui was already in custody prior to AQ's act of war.
Think of the outrage (not by me) if his status had been flipped to non-uniformed combatant after the attack, which if I'm not mistaken would have made him eligible for immediate execution.
I have it on good authority that Camp Delta contains some of the most vile and hateful people on the planet who would kill Americans again given half a chance. The world would be a better place if they were dragged out, wrapped in bacon and hung.

#3 Hilly's backing up as fast as she can, so she doesn't get any on her when the feces hit the fan.

#4 Lex: is there any doubt in your mind that the man is guilty?

I mean, other than KSM has admitted his involvement, indeed gloried in it?

The issue about a civilian trial is that having one 1) forces the government to reveal information from classified sources 2) gives KSM a forum for his hateful ideology 3) allows KSM and his lawyers at the CCR an opportunity to harm our country again 4) makes our judicial system a farce.

Now you might not care about that, indeed, you might even want to see those things happen.

But we don't.

KSM can have a military tribunal. He can have his sentence reviewed by a military appeals court.

And then he can be hanged.

#5 4) makes our judicial system a farce.

I don't think KSM has to do anything for that to be seen. It was SCOTUS Justice Kennedy that opened the can of worms when he choose to ignore precedent in dealing with illegal combatants. It's a self inflicted wound.
