I feel like
this is something of a matter of opinion, but I believe terrorists should be tried in a military
tribunal or something akin to one. Because they are actively attacking the society in which they
are being tried and are going directly against their peers who would serve as the jury, they
should be denied some of the protections offered by the traditional justice system.
The main issue here is that I believe they have sacrificed many of their freedoms by
actively advocating against and acting to destroy the very system that would be protecting them.
In denying that system, they should therefore be denied its protection. Some may argue that the
system itself does not regard whether or not someone denies it, but there should be some sort of
retribution for that person's crimes.
This is not a traditional civil or even
criminal case, where an individual has a conflict with a corporation or another individual. The
judicial system is meant to discern between individuals and concerned parties. However, when the
very same justice and democratic system is one of those parties and the person in question has
no regard for human life or liberty, they should have those rights and protections
refused.
