9-11 Trials
Obama wants to try the suspects in N.Y.
That's a dumb idea. Let's through gas of the fire. |
They will die. It's practically factual.
|
They should get their day in court just like every one else in this country. Yes yes I know... They arent actually US citizens but we shouldnt have two definitions of justice. Justice for us is the same justice we should hand out. We are supposed to be better than that. Besides, like Fathom said, its practically factual what will happen to them anyway.
|
I'm just thinking about the shit storm of accusations that are going to fly around over this. Aren't we trying to repair our status as a world leader? Holding the trials in D.C. would make more sense.

The crime was committed in united states jurisdiction. I would assume this would go to federal court, which has no juries.
I guess you can request a jury? Anyway usually in federal courts they are tried by a panel of judges. |
If a N.Y. judge wants to keep his job, there can only be one outcome.
|
Juries... judges... You know what Im talking about.

911 was an inside job. Evidence was obtained through torture. And all that. |
Mukasey threatens...oops I mean warns of 'very high' risk of attack over NYC 9/11 trial

Geggy, still on that shit?
Will you be protesting at the trial, defending a man accused of a crime you have irrefutable proof he didn't commit? Wait, what's that? The 9/11 conspiracy bullshit is just a cry for help by a bunch of sad, lonely, and hopeless people? Ya, figured that much already. And you even used FOX News as a source, you fucking hypocrite. That stupidity out of the way: NYC was the one of the jurisdictions of the crimes on 9/11. We also have the best facilities and have aptly handled trials like this in the past. Like the first WTC bombing trial and the Bernie Madoff trial. And can someone tell me a place that won't have a supposedly tainted jury pool? |

We can at least pretend.

we should try them in DC because they haven't heard about 9/11 yet
|
Well, did they attack N.Y. or America?

You going into tourist traps and the locals giving you shitty treatment has nothing to do with this trial. I have no idea why you think moving this trial to Washington would make them stop being douche bags.

:rolleyes

Personally I think the entire idea of this trial is retarded. How can you charge somebody for a war crime (if it can even be called that) in a civil court? I guess that's one thing that foreigners might get pissed about.
All they have to do is argue that it was committed in an act of war and the entire case becomes stupid. |
Does it count as an act of war if they aren't representing a specific nation?
|
Maybe.
But, then, they could just say that they are representing the interests of a country which has been taken over by us. In effect, they could say they are a "Resistance" to our colonial rule or some shit. I think it would be more troublesome to not consider this a possible warcrime |
I think the guys set for trial right now are gonna be accused of the 9-11 plot, so that would be before we took Afghanistan.
|
I'm aware of that, but why did terrorists attack us? it wasn't because they thought their countries were completely free of western involvement.
|
The real reason? We'll never get to know that. I'm sure Captain America will show up soon with the proper flag waving answer though.
|
They attacked the WTC because they thought it was full of Jewish people.
