No, so now all the people who are at-risk for this sort of treatment are going to pop up paranoid with tin foil hats and make themselves stand out even more. Meanwhile, he gets better treatment while the rest of us are always "caught" in acts of worthlessness - or being the odd one out. It doesn't matter where some go to, somebody is going to pop up and follow or search for drugs. Warning signs ignored for others because of who they are. I guess now they can use this for whatever purpose of control, blur everything and claim reactions. Oh well. Whatever. I would rather a military court than having to go through the nightmare of the civilian one anyway. Why waste so much money to find out that you are guilty? If you are part of the lucky few, you know who you are and what is going to happen because you've become psychic. As equal as, You can't stop technology. You have to create laws and regulations to adapt to it. Checks and balances. Do onto others as you would have them do onto you. Why do they always use fear as the reason? Control. That will come back at them. Tituba is going to pop up then go to her mountain and laugh at everyone.

Peace on earth and good will to people everywhere. There is no peace, but good will anyway.

For the CIA financed and trained mercenaries like the Muhadajeen and Blackwater and the Mosaad/Saudi Secret Service trained pseudo-Al Qaida - YES!!. The Irish "new" Sien Fein was discreditted as financed and trained by the MI6 and the Khmer Rouge was discreditted as financed and trained by the CIA - so too, both of the above. So too the Mosaad agents within Iraq and Israel itself that turn suicidal tortured citizens into Human Bombs, YES YES YES!!!. /// Old Snowyone.

If a country is a democracy it should let the people decide. Voting or whatever they come up with would be the fairest, in fact I think that true evil terrorists that have killed innocent people should be publicly executed straight away after capture, that would be fair.

RT is an asset to this world and to sanity. Every day, makes me love RT more and more. The stories they bring to the reader are not great, they are fantastic and a counter to the mental illness that effects this world. Regarding this article, the clap trap about what we have done in Iraq, Pakistan, and Afghanistan as not being War is making everyone paranoid schitzophrenic. Everyone they kill or mistreat is done so within the framework of War. Trying people as enemy combatants reflects the notion of War. Invasion forces and congressional military budgets reflect War. Being told by Kofi Annan that what is being done violates the Law of War aassumes that it is an illegal war. And, when bush declared the War over, it was war he had on his hands. .If it smells like a tird, its a tird. All the rhetoric pretending that it is something else doesn't cut it. And most of all, saying that it is not war is just mental gymnastics to get around the rule of law which America and Israel routinely ignore in thier conquest of the Middle East and the destruction of the Moslem World for the sake of oil and the takeover of this world.

My own opinion,these terrorist dont represent a country,and no country reconises them,therefore the question is irrelevant,just shoot them,they forfiet any rights when they take civilians lives,on a philosophy ,it dos'nt like your way of life.just waste of taxpayers money,feeding and looking after them,doubt when they blow up people,they thinking of the lives, and right of the people they are killing.Probably the terrorist know the planet is full of deluded politicans ,they probably sitting around laughing at the others on this planet.ps no remarks we are civilised and better than these terrorist,thats for idiots.we will give them rights.

I vote for civilian courts. USA is a nation based on a Constitution, not on a military junta. I know Bush tried to change it by signing the 2007 Military Tribunals Act into law and writing a bunch of draconic Executive Memorandums. Now any citizen of USA can be labeled an "enemy combatant" by the whim of the president (and I don't think Obama did away with THAT rule). It doesn't matter if you are innocent, you immediately become guilty based on an accusation by the president or even by a neighborhood "snitch". People in this country who call for immediate execution of "terrorists" before trial should think twice about that. Next time it may not be some extremist plotting in a Pakistani mosque who gets nailed - it could be you or I.

The World War II trials of war criminals was held in Nuremberg Germany. This was the country where the crimes were carried out, planned, etc.--I think it would only be fitting to hold the trials of the 911 criminals (terrorists) in New York. I am certain, if anything like me, the survivors, friends and families of those who died would love to attend them and hear both side; Indeed, I think all Americans who worry and have intelligence would like to see this trial and become informed of all claims, falsehood and truths. It only worries me that some would seek to hold court in the dark where the full details would not be available to a public which needs to be fully informed--all the time.
