Ex Parte Quirin

If you don't know what Ex Parte Quirin refers to let me explain it in simple terms.  This is a case in which the US Supreme Court upheld the jurisdiction of military tribunals over eight NAZI saboteurs.  All eight were found guilty and convicted.  Six of the eight were executed by electrocution.  It's relevant to our discussion that one of those six was German born but US naturalized citizen (at age ten).    If we have precedent of putting US citizens in front of military tribunals and furthermore executing them why are we putting non-citizen and citizen saboteurs into civilian courts?  Both Bush and Obama have completely screwed this up.  There is absolutely no excuse for having detained terrorists for years without getting in front of a military tribunal.  Just as there is no excuse for putting terrorists through our civil courts systems.  Faisal Shahzad is a modern day equivalent to a NAZI saboteurs.  His attempted attack on Times Square would have killed Americans, hurt our economy and created fear and terror in America.  We keep calling people like Shahzad as terrorists.  Maybe we should begin "labeling" them as saboteurs instead.  Shahzad as a saboteur would not have the same rights as he currently has in civilian courts.  The efficiency of a military tribunal would be quick and just.  Follow by an execution if found guilty.  No more weeks, months, years of propaganda and consuming millions of our tax dollars.  Time for Americans (including you President Obama) to find our backbones and begin to treat this war as a war.  We didn't soft glove the NAZI saboteurs we shouldn't be soft gloving Muslim saboteurs.
