Do you think President Obama has made any progress in this area?Doughlas Remyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18421275276424774845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33424426.post-87196928409174939562009-11-24T20:58:57.213-08:002009-11-24T20:58:57.213-08:00This trial has risks, but not likely to the extrem...This trial has risks, but not likely to the extremes this blog entry suggests. And it could hardly be the terrorist recruiting tool our war in Iraq has manifestly done, even if you don't count the prison scandals there. And since when should we not do the right thing or act like good Americans because it could be costly? I think we can trust our criminal justice system. Besides, the defendant has already plead guilty to the crimes with which he is charged. <br /><br />To do this trial in our own justice system is proof, isolated as it perhaps is, that the terrorists have not made us change who we are, have not brought us down toward the level on which they operate.Robert Mooneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043865704815295594noreply@blogger.com
