It’s a sad day when only liberals and “some government lawyers” are disappointed to learn that we, as a country, are incapable of holding public trials for terrorism suspects in normal courts of law. Of course, that characterization in the Washington Post’s article on the subject is false. There are people from every ideological point of view who are disappointed by this.
How did we get to a situation where the price for closing Guantanamo Bay is to have sham-trials for the most notorious criminals in the world? We’re too afraid to hold on to our system of justice?
It’s more like the Republicans will stoop to any level to score political points. They’ll even wet their pants in public to score a few political points. No leadership, no statesmanship, no concern for our cherished system of justice.
