My father was glad that he would be subjected to the same treatment as the other military combatants (i.e. military tribunals and such). To some extent I can see his point. The man was planning to do horrible horrible things to other American citizens. But then Timothy McVeigh actually succeeded in doing horrible things to other American citizens (albeit without foreign sponsorship), and was prosecuted and punished as an American citizen. I may not agree with the terms of his punishment, but at least he did get the speedy, fair and public trial by a jury of his peers he was promised as a United States citizen. <br /><br />As I understand it, the rules pertaining to classifying anyone as a military combatant apply when the country is at war. I'm sure someone will argue that we are at war with 'terrah.' Arguably, a war against an idea seems to be stretching the definition of war. I just don't know how loosely we can afford to play with the rules when it comes to the treatment of our population. This isn't a definition we want to start slipping.<br /><br />This guy's a fuckwit, obviously, and rightly deserves a good shin-kicking, but it would seem that we have ample evidence to prosecute him via our criminal justice system. Why not do it this way? Err on the side of civil liberty. If we want to be the good guys, isn't it in our best interests to act accordingly? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Magna Ultrus</b> <br /><small>Member # 239</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2002,5,11,11,25,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0));
