Bad Moon Rising
Good that the Feds have caught someone plotting to blow stuff up in DC. However, the rumblings that this US citizen might be tried under the tribunal system is deeply troubling. I don't think he will be, but even holding him as an "enemy combatant" raises questions. There is a lot to this story that has yet to come out, but at the outset, there are many troubling questions all stemming from the fact that the accused is a US citizen. This prosecution will help show in what regard this justice department holds a US citizen's civil rights.
