That would seem to solve at least one problem, but today I heard Mr. Holder say that he's "not sure if that guilty plea is still 'good'" Oh good grief.Sherrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3980421295592818922.post-60750481056741428752009-11-17T19:01:20.248-08:002009-11-17T19:01:20.248-08:00I understand what you're saying, Al.

The German saboteurs were uniformed members of a state we were at war with.<br /><br />We went through a similar "war on terrorism" (but we didn't call it that) back in the 70's and I wrote about it some time ago. http://www.shallowcogitations.com/2008/01/terrorism-sorry-for-long-post.html<br /><br />These are criminals just like they were 40 years ago.Hank Greerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15243840232233423724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3980421295592818922.post-84744514196152016012009-11-17T18:39:34.265-08:002009-11-17T18:39:34.265-08:00I am super-excited we are going to try them in cou...I am super-excited we are going to try them in court, as criminals, which is what they are.Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01247999979754738405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3980421295592818922.post-15531091678320000262009-11-17T08:27:53.874-08:002009-11-17T08:27:53.874-08:00Hank,

And we do have precedence via President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who ordered military tribunals for eight German prisoners accused of planning sabotage in the United States.<br /><br />Take care.Spokane Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14322733412232169837noreply@blogger.com
