Yes, there are plenty of problems with our justice system, but I am confident that this highly reported-on case can be handled in a cfriminal federal court. The RW that wants to whisk him off to Gitmo just want to torture him into spilling the beans about Muslim terrorists. I am superbly confident that the FBI interrogators will work with his court-appointed defense lawyers to get him to co-operate with questioning. You and I have a right to see him brought before the bar of justice to face the charges that will surely be brought against him.
