Ahhh, it looks like the news story I was reading had mixed the cases...I can't find it anymore, go figure...

But it also looks like we've convicted nearly 200 terrorists in US Federal court, so what's the problem?

Do you believe in due process? Either these guys are terrorists or they are not.

Do you think it's ethical to hold them indefinately and probably submit them to some torture along the way, if we don't as a nation, who says we follow the rule of law, believe they don't stand the test of our own courts?

If so, what do you believe in?
