I suppose that's why we have courts instead of mob rule.

What does rule of law and due process have to do with war? To me those are criminal prosecution concepts. The position of many is that these matters are not criminal matters eventhough they were treated that way many times in the past. The Bush administration approach was the correct approach in my view, and in this case the risks were simply to great for a civilian trial.

Perhaps someone will do a poll and tell some what to think. I bet the poll will show that the result of this trial was a very, very, bad thing. Perhaps, even a few liberals will agree.
