Of COURSE Gonzales supports military tribunals

the surprise would be if he DIDN'T...

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said Tuesday that it would be difficult to bring top al-Qaida captives, such as suspected Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, to trial without a special court designed to keep secrets gathered in the war on terrorism.

His comments upped the stakes in the administration's negotiations with Congress over what kind of special military commissions would be needed to prosecute jailed terrorist suspects.

Recently, the Supreme Court rejected the idea of such courts because they had few safeguards for the accused and were set up by President Bush without congressional approval.

i'll paraphrase the comment i made earlier... pay no attention to those annoying court rulings... bush wants to act in complete secrecy without oversight by or accountability to anyone... if that's illegal, let 'em eat cake...

i am unbelievably tired of all this big-deal, national security, keeping secrets crap... absolutely none of the secrets kept so far has made one iota bit of difference in apprehending real, honest-to-god terrorists (vs. wannabes)... obviously, all these so-called secrets don't amount to a hill of beans...
