So it was announced that a terror suspect in the US was convicted on only one out of 281 offences he was tried for in a US civilian court, and that this is a problem for Obama because Republicans are criticising the policy to try these guys in civilian courts.
Criticising based on the fact that when challenged to prove the offences these guys are charged with, the US was unable to convince a judge and jury about the charges levelled against them. That is as opposed to trying them in a military court presumably where "secret" evidence, or evidence procured by illegal means, could be used.
The main reason I write about this is because I'm a little perplexed about this move by right-wing folk in the US - supposedly the home of the Christian right. I wonder which side they are on in this?
