Of course these Al-Qaeada are entitled to lawyers. But are they entitled to very good lawyers? How come these high powered DC/NYC corporate liberal lawyers are tripping over each other trying to represent these lowlifes? How come they never bombarded me with offers to represent me pro-bono when I had legal problems?
These terrorists should only be allowed to get incompetent legal-aid lawyers and the equivalent
No, they aren't. Are we at war, or not?
If not, why are there troops deployed, shooting and dying?
If so, then lawyers and the courts have absolutely no place in the matter.
War is not crime. The fraudulent characterization of it as such is a perfect recipe for disaster. If we try to fight a war using lawyers and courtrooms, we will be the laughingstock of the world, and we will lose to any enemy bigger than a street gang.
They get lawyers in a military tribunal too
Ted Olson is a progressive working for the Liberal hoard. He is NOT a conservative.
The Bush Justice Department
Many conservatives burrowed within the Department of Justice have long complained that Gonzales (and therefore, Bush) has permitted career government employees and hold-overs from Democratic Administrations to remain in perches of power and thereby water down conservative directives from the top. As one conservative and Federalist Society member in the Justice Department told me: “This is definitely not Ronald Reagan’s Justice Department, I assure you. You have holdovers from Clinton calling the shots in a lot of places here.”

True, but it isn't a criminal court, and all that goes with that.
They probably thought, "Hey, when the other side takes the White House, we'll be heroes, maybe even get jobs!" Looks like they were right.
