but what else does the right's criticisms of civilian trials amount to than a call for show trials?
and what other motivation could there be for show trials apart from the politics of avoiding the reality of the bush administration's choices by pretending their legitimate? the only way guantanomo could possibly be legitimated from that entirely cynical/tactical viewpoint is for there to be convictions.
because the law is drawn to the guilty.
