#1 ``We do not want a lack of facilities to be a reason for delaying the process of bringing these dangerous enemy combatants to justice.''

Right. A courthouse is certainly not necessary. Just need an old cargo plane with rear ramp that can get to 16-18000 feet. Just a short ride northeast, dump, return for next load.

#2 727s are still available without the failsafe.

#3 WTF are we doing spending $102 million on a courthouse, no less some super-swank megaplex that will be nicer than any post courtroom where we court-martial our own soldiers?

I'm sure a lot of the cost is for security measures. But they've been doing status determination hearings for quite some time now with no problem. If you have three desks and a set of leg irons, you have a courtroom. Whatever happened to improvise, adapt, and overcome?

Oh, right. This is the master race we're dealing with here. The little princesses might feel the pea under the mattress.
