The trials of Khalid Sheik Mohammed and other terrorists in New York, and the trial of Nidal Makik Hasan for the terrorist killings at Fort Hood, Texas army base is finally setting the United States back on the constitutional course which it's founding fathers intended it to be on. The United States appears to have been diverted from this path in response to terrorist acts over the past decade.
The United States now must deal with the 911 and Fort Hood terrorists, and those held at Guantanamo Bay, as it's constitution says it should, through the judicial process. Lynch mobs, as media outlets such as Fox appear to be fanning, went out with the wild west. No doubt the 911 and Fort Hood attacks were undertaken by terrorists who have perverted their religion, but starting a religious war with Muslims, a sentiment which some on Fox also appear to be inflaming, plays into the hands of terrorists, will cause a lot more deaths, and is frankly stupid.
These terrorists need to be put through the judicial process and judged as the United States legal system dictates, as was Tim McVeigh, as was the Washington sniper, as the religiously motivated terrorists who plotted to attack an army base in Sydney were convicted through the Australian legal process, and as the Bali bombers were convicted and executed through the Indonesian legal process, a country with the world's largest Muslim population.
Let the cold, hard hand of the justice system take care of the terrorists, and show potential terrorists that their acts are futile.
