Terrorists getting a Fair Trial?

I am not convinced the terrorists are going to get a "Fair Trial" When the Attorney General says in advance "I guarantee they will be found guilty", it begs the question: How fair can a trial be if the outcome is already guaranteed? But that's not the problem I have with giving them a civilian federal court trial.

My problem is that terrorists should not be given the same rights as American Citizens. Since they are not Americans, and since their goal is to destroy the American way of life, why should we afford them rights that they are not entitled to? Certainly they gave no thought to the rights of the thousands they killed in cold blood. These were not military combatants, they were everyday people

We all know that the Death Penalty is not really a death penalty in civilian court. In a military court if the terrorists are found guilty there is no appeal. They are basically taken from the court to the firing squad. In a civilian court if they are found guilty there will be appeal after appeal after appeal until 30 years later they are either executed or have their sentence commuted. In the meantime we are going to house them, feed them, let them watch TV, give them books and music and access to things they would never get in their home country.

I can hear the conversations in Afghanistan now. "Khalid, I have a great way to recruit new bombers" "How would do it Abu Khabab?" "We explain to them what will happen if they are lucky enough to be captured". "They will be given a trial where there is a chance they will be found not guilty." "In the meantime they will have a shelter with heat and air conditioning, a real toilet, running water, electricity whenever you need it, three meals a day with all the clean, pure water you can drink, and even juice or soda, cable television, the right to practice their religion, access to a library, and if they can't read these American Pigs will actually teach them how!" "They will have a lifestyle they could never dream of in Nawab City". "Brilliant Abu, don't forget they will not have to work, they get free medical and dental care, an exercise facility, A laundry, access to a shower with soap and shampoo, on a daily basis, and they may spit on, and throw feces and urine on the guards and call them American Dogs, without the fear of being beaten" "Khalid, when they hear the consequences are a better lifestyle than they ever dreamed for at least 30 years before they ever face the death penalty, we will have volunteers banging on our doors to help us kill the American Infidels."

OK maybe I am exaggerating a bit, but don't the consequences here seem trivial compared to what they have to deal with at home? On the other hand military prisons require hard labor, have far fewer amenities and the death penalty is swift.

Do we really want to give Terrorists a greater incentive to come to our Country and Blow Stuff Up?

The Civilian Criminal trial is a huge mistake...of course this is only my opinion. Do you share it?
