I do not think they should come to America and they should not recieve our rights by our Constitution and Miranda Rights. First off, 9/11 was an Act of War and should be tried in a Military Court not in our Criminal Justice System. We did not bring the war criminals from WWII to the U.S. and try them in our criminal justice system . So, why are we doing it now? This is just another way to ignore the War at the present and why it all started to begin with. IIts about putting our prior administration on trial along with all of the CIA agents who were involved in getting the information from our enemies!! They do this and it will be a big showboating blame game to make this administration look better than the prior one or at least try to anyway. Now they want to bring these terroists to my backyard? Illinoise is not that far from Iowa? They just don't belong here PERIOD!!

I think another issue is the future purchase by the government to house the Gitmo prisoners in Illinois. The prisoners at Gitmo should never be tried by the American Court System. I don't believe that all of them were ever captured on American Soil to begin with.

There is no reason why these people cannot be tried at gitmo. We are at war why wars cost money and people. Financial depreciation is one of the reasons for this war. Someone is pulling our strings oboma is part of it but there is a some one or something thats pulling his strings.

How can a civilian court proceed over a case where the defendant was charged under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). A civilian court not only has no jurisdiction in this case but also no knowledge of the UCMJ of which the accused is charged. This should be a military trial by court martial! Either way he will be entitled to present his case with the representation of legal councel. The difference is that the case will not be at risk of being dismissed due to a technicality, as the defendant is not an American and is not afforded all of the rights a civilian court must extend under the Constitution of the United States. He is being tried for war crimes and that charge falls under the jurisdiction of military law!!!

Obama is picking up where Clinton left off in treating terrorism as a crime for law enforcement and the courts. After 9/11 most Americans wanted righteous retribution but how do you wage a military war against an ism? Political correctness has hamstrung our military efforts we can't even call it radical Islam anymore for fear of offending Muslims, the terrorists know our PC weaknesses as demonstrated in the stupid court-martial of the Navy SEALs for allegedly punching a terrorist in the nose that murdered and mutilated Americans, as long as we have to fight the war on terrorism under these kinds of rules we cannot win.
