How could putting KSM on trial in new york possibly be divisive for america? What would you have him do have all suspected terrorists buried alive as soon as they have been convicted in the court of public opinion.

Since he is the self proclaimed mastermind of 9/11 he should go before the Military Tribunal. The only thing that will come from this is 5 more years of the Federal Government and Bush Administration defending their past actions. We won’t even admit Hasan and his attack on the troops at Ft Hood was the 1st successful terror attack on the homeland since 9/11. We are already divided on Health Care, Stimulus, Afghanistan, Foreign Policy (Bowing before kings and emperors), the economy, and the direction the country is being taken by this President and Congress, do we really need to be divided on this for another 5 years. I didn’t convict KSM he convicted himself and I have no mercy for self proclaimed terrorist or enemies of the United States, they have no mercy for our troops or Americans like Daniel Pearl.

First of all the fort hood shooting was not the first terrorist attack since 9/11, the shooting more closely resembles a school shooting than a terrorist attack and there have been plenty of school shootings since 9/11.
Secondly given the controversy surrounding military tribunals it seems that trying KSM in a military tribunal would be giving a huge propoganda boost to terrorist groups. Also I don’t see why this trial would divide the USA at all.

\”First of all the fort hood shooting was not the first terrorist attack since 9/11\”
There have been many attempts this was the 1st successful attack.
\”shooting more closely resembles a school shooting than a terrorist attack\”
He was a Muslim American that declared he was a \”Soldier of Alla\”, He was emailing a known Al Qaeda recruiter, He declared his allegiance to Islam not his country, He justified suicide bombings, and on it goes. He was not mentally ill but justified his actions through his radical idea of Islam.
\”given the controversy surrounding military tribunals it seems that trying KSM in a military tribunal would be giving a huge propoganda boost to terrorist groups\”
The only controversy is coming from the ACLU and the media. Military tribunals have been around since the founding of the country. Pirates attacking American ships went before Military tribunals, Abraham Lincoln\’s conspirators went before a Military Commission, and the Supreme Courts have upheld the use of Military Tribunals. If the argument is we are not at war and Military Tribunals should be restricted to war then we should redefine the definition of war. In my opinion when a country attacks another country with its military that is war. When a group attacks a country or declares war on a country that is war. As for propaganda there will be no cameras for KSM to parade around before in his flowing white robes making Jihadist speeches and statements.
\”Also I don’t see why this trial would divide the USA at all.\”
This discussion in itself shows how we are divided, the latest poll shows 63% of Americans favor Military over civilian trials for terrorist.
