All had lived at least a few years in the United States, so they could blend in easily.

I wonder if the RAT nominees are taking this into consideration...

I beleive the FBI got a lot of milage out of this, even though the saboteurs were only discovered due to their own stupidity.

[Congressman Billybob]

This is a better article than most of the tripe in the lamestream media, because it is at least aware of the eight German saboteurs and the Supreme Court case which approved their trials and sentences.

However, the author is dead wrong to suggest that the process of military tribunals "began" in 1942. Such have been used in every war America has ever fought, beginning with the American Revolution before, of course, the Constitution existed. General George Washington used such a process to try, convict and hang Major John Andre, the British handler for the intended treachery of General Benedict Arnold.

The law of war is far older than the United States of America. History tells us that there is nothing new about captured enemies and how they are properly treated.
