Well, no.  Which US citizens were ever in a position to be subject to
the 'Gitmo rules'?  One.  And frankly, I think he should have wound up
there and been the first trial.

How many US citizens were in a position to be caught up in the group
that wound up at Gitmo. 

One?

Much less interesting, suddenly.

Paul, nobody wants a 'fair trial' when they're the defendant.  They
just want to get off.

This lot will get fairer trials than they've got coming.  Why is it
none of your lot are willing to wait for the bad outcomes you keep
shrilling about to occur before tearing your hair out and wailing to
the skies?

Hell, wait until the first trial happens and someone gets sentenced.
Then you MIGHT have something to complain about.  However, I'd bet you
won't.  The military, unlike a civilian court, is going to be pretty
scrupulous about things before they'll sentence someone to death.

You might want to look at just when the last time was that a military
court handed down a death penalty.
