#1 Turn him back over to the tribunals NOW. Stop this farce. This is a war criminal and belongs in military courts at most, not the US Civilian courts. He has no rights as a us citizen and is not in our juridiciton when he committeded these war crimes. Summary trial and execution by a military authority is what is called for in the Geneva Convention for illegal combatants.

Follow the REAL law, not the crap our crooked AG is pushing. This now sets a precedent that any US military member captured can be tried under the civil laws of whatever entity gets hold of him, instead of the geneva convention.

Our president is a con man and should be removed from office for this crap.

#2 OS, I agree. Obama and the AG are handling this like a bad episode of Perry Mason. I guess this is what happens when the lawyers take over.

#4 I hope that they also rule that KSM was unlawfully detained, needs to be set free, and they actually do just that. Only then will we understand how warped the left really is. STUPID MOVE BARRY and you are supposed to be a lawyer.
