Im not saying that I dont agree with what they did.
But like I said, there are rules, and we have to follow those rules. It has nothing to do with civil rights, it has to do with the Rules of War.

We are not trying the terrorists in a civilan court because of "civil rights", but because they comited a crime of murder.
I dont agree with that either. They should be tried as War Criminals, in front of the Hauge, and be done with it. But since they are not an army, but just a bunch of loons, they are like any other loons that would kill a large group of people.
Its not like they are gunna get any special treatment. If anything, the are more ****ed by being tried in NYC then if they were to be tried somewhere else.

If we start to break the rules, if we start to fight outside of the rules of engagement, then we have broken the law, and we can be brought up on war crimes. American troops can be brought to justice, and just like the terrorists that flew planes into the towers and pentagon, they could be hung for something like this.
Just because its us doesnt make it automaticly "good" in what we do.
If we decide to disreguard rules that we expect people to follow when we are at war with them, how does it look if we go ahead and step outside the lines then?
Then WE become terrorists. WE become the bad guys. WE are the ones in the wrong.
I understand fustration, no doubt, but the rules of war are still rules, and they must be followed or you will be in a world of ****. End of story.
