[How can you tell that W. is lying? His lips are moving!]
Secondly, the courts. I believe that it was necessary to have military tribunals because I ultimately want these people to be tried. And it took a while to get these tribunals in place.
[Bush Jumps Shark: Take Four
Make-Up, aka Reality Check: Section 948b(d)(1)(A) of the MCA declares that detainees have no right to a speedy trial! They can be held forever! All their mendacity aside, the fact is that the Bush folks only attempted to hold hearings on 10 detainees. In the meanwhile, these Islamo-fascist tricksters (so much like the Jews, Catholics, Homosexuals, Communists and Roma in the German labor camps) use tricknology to seduce the Nazi, er Bush regime into believing that suspending Habeas Corpus will make us free. (Mission accomplished).
The trials will be great, especially as the prosecutors and judges can keep any and all evidence from the accused while all statements extracted via torture are admissible as evidence of guilt! See sections 949d(f) and 948r(c)(d). I heard that Bush's Uncle, Franz Kafka, is really impressed with the system and its efficiency.]
BO: What's wrong with civilian courts? What's wrong with doing what you did to Moussaoui?
[What the hell O'Reilly, you trying to win a Polk award or something?]
GWB: Because there's some - a lot of times there's intelligence involved that would, if exposed, would make it very difficult for us to beat the enemy, to prosecute this war. And the tribunal are people - are going to have - they're going to have lawyers. But it enables us to protect certain intelligence. And the American people understand that.

Did someone fall into the Shark tank ? again? Let's see, Moussaoui was denied access to witnesses for his defense. His attorneys were not allowed to interview and depose people in Gitmo. Then the government changed their theory of Moussaoui's involvement and or criminality. After the Busheviks said that he had nothing to do with 9/11, but was plotting some other hijacking, they let Moussaoui plead guilty to being involved in 9/11. The American people understand that ... don't they?
By exposed, I trust Bush means that witnesses and defendants will talk about torture and all the amusing anal penetration that occurs in Bagram, Abu Ghraib, Gitmo, and secret prisons. By the way, where did our brave boys learn to enjoy the dark arts of anal penetration? In a Log Cabin, the Congressional page program, or while selling dildos in Texas?
Now I am to believe that Gitmo detainees will have attorneys? Yes, attorneys who, if they do their job and defend the innocent, will get fired! Can you say "Don't let the door smack you on the read end as you leave Lt. Comm. Charles Swift," boys and girls?]
BO: Let me to read you what Hillary Clinton [said about the MCA]:
"this law would give license to this administration to pick people up off the streets of the United States and hold them indefinitely without charges and without legal recourse."
GWB: You mean pick the enemy up off the streets?
BO: She says "pick people up off the streets."
GWB: I don't know who she's talking about. But this law will enable us to find people that with like to kill Americans. Al Qaeda, Al Qaeda affiliates and [discover] their plans and ... more [sic] protect this country. I have no idea who she's talking about.
