    Killing people would be a crime, I think.

    The other may be a motive, I suppose, if we're allowed to ask the question.

    Are we allowed to refer to the events of 9/11 as terrorist in nature, and the perpetrators as terrorists?

    First of all, from whom are you seeking permission and why?
    Secondly, if you have something to say why not just lay it out and quit leading us by the nose?

    Not seeking permission at all, just trying to determine whether the PC crowd has laid claim to this event as it does all others.

    As to the latter, I promise your nose will suffer no damage for my having led you by it.

    Who is this "PC" crowd and what qualifications do they have?

    If you're going to build a straw man, shouldn't he be taller than 6"?
    This coy act is bullshit.

    If there was a PC crowd, it was the Axis of Evil- Rumsfeld, Cheney and Bush- who stifled any dissent by labeling it "un-American" and "soft on terrorism".
    Nobody was denying that a terrorist attack had taken place on 9/11, just Iraq's involvement.

    If the evidence supports that Hasan was indeed a self-styled terrorist- as opposed to just a random nut-job- and Ft. Hood was politically motivated, then so be it...who are you expecting to muzzle you?

    Again, if you have a point, make it for crissake.

    Okay, let's cut to the chase:

    Why a public trial in a public venue rather than a military tribunal for the Gitmo crowd?

    Please answer by means other than merely saying "why not?".

    Isn't the justice system one of the main bulwarks of the democracy we're so eager to impose on the rest of the world?
    Public trials in public venues- i.e., transparency- are supposed to be one of the things that's admirable about our system and yet you imply that it's not robust enough to handle a case like this.

    What- if anything- does the choice of venue have to do with the "labeling as terrorist/Islam" thing you introduced into the thread, or was that just a random diversion?
    I still have absolutely no idea what you think the point of this thread is.
