"American Justice!"

Most of us at one time or another have had to go to court for one thing or another , be it a traffic violation or a matter of an estate claim or some other legal concern. Our court system is perhaps the finest in the world , it is designed to protect it's citizens from unlawful prosecution , and it provides the assumption of innocence until guilt is proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Our founding fathers provided it's citizens with a system intended for those who operate within the system of our republic to receive proper treatment when laws and ordinances have been breached in civil or criminal situations. During times of war we have a system of military justice as a system of investigation and prosecution for those who have chosen to use methods of war and terror against our nation. Captured military , and those involved in espionage and terror are covered under the military criminal code. Those covered under the military code don't receive the access to civilian court system that American citizens and resident aliens have. The reason behind this is because of the nature of their crimes that they must be handled through our military courts. Their infractions usually involve crimes against the republic that are subversive and an immediate threat to it's citizens.Can any of you imagine a court case in our criminal system with Hermann Goering , Martin Borman , or Alfred Jodl as the defendants , this would be a media circus and much of the evidence would be ruled as hear-say under the civil court system , thus in-admissible in a civil court. The Obama administration is refusing to recognize the acts of war and terror against our nation by giving captured terrorists access to our civil court system. These people have shown by the nature of their crimes that the American system that this administration wishes to protect them with is the very system that they seek to destroy. We all remember the O.J. Simpson trial . What would happen if we witnessed a travesty like O.J.'s trial , only this time we freed people whose only aim is to murder all of those who freed them? Why can't Barack Obama understand how wrong it is to give murdering war criminals the same benefits that the peaceful citizens of the United states receive? This is a military situation not a civil crime! If we were to capture Osama Bin Laden would we prosecute him as a terrorist or the head of an organized crime family? Do you see how ludicrous this premise is?This situation is no different then the war trials after World War II , we must show our enemies we mean business . Please Mr. Obama , for the first time , SHOW SOME STRENGTH!!!
