Well, a start may be telling me if you think the Saddam trail was a "show trial"? Or, how or if you would try Osama Bin Laden?
Or, a start could be stating if you think we are in a war or not? If you see criminal activity where I see war activity we will never see eye to eye on the subjects that follow from that point.

I think maybe you're conflating a show trial with a showy trial.
I don't know that much about Saddam's trial, other than it was an Iraqi trial and prob. not one I'd want us to emulate. His execution was showy if I remember correctly.
I would imagine that an Osama bin Laden trial would be very showy.
And no, I don't believe that we are in a 'war on terror.' I believe that the 'war on terror' is a figure of speech that denotes a network of ongoing covert operations to protect American interests.
