    You recognized that transporting scuds for use in terrorist activity was a criminal offense.

    I was working off the basis he was just a driver, now it seems alot more reasonable, obviously i still don't agree with his detention in gauntanamo and assume that will count as time served ?

    I believe that is the deal. It was determined by a military jury and will be appealed at the Pentagon. I support the decision.

    Yes, let us all ignore the fact that the notion "fair trial" is at the least questionable in this case.

    TBH, while your intentions are noble and your point does resonate, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone here in America who gives a damn what you - the international citizen - think about this. If you catch them in your country, happily send them off to the Hague; but America was attacked in one of the most vile and disgusting ways imaginable, and if and when we nab these guys, they will answer to American justice.

    We have widely varying views on our relations with the international community on most issues including Kyoto, Iraq, and trade, and you’ll find that many Americans do not agree with the current administration’s "our way or the highway" approach, but I think there is a fairly strong consensus on this one..
