Why can't bin Laden's driver be tried for conspiracy in a regular court?

[BR_Parkway]

I still can't get my mind around it.

What possible state secrets could be revealed over this case? The guy was picked up in Iraq, not because they searched his bank records, listened in on his cell phone or any of the other unConstitutional acts that Shrub got his pet AG to approve that they don't want us to find out about.

So how could they possibly argue that they need to have a military tribunal to protect some big secret?





(maybe, once again, they just don't have any evidence but don't want the public to know just how badly they are handling things)

1. He knows what kind of radio station Osama listened to

It's top secret.

He also knows the year and make of the vehicle.

2. Because then we might find out OBL had nothing to do with 9-11

[DinahMoeHum]

3. I don't think he can be successfully prosecuted in ANY legitimate court

due to the evidence against him being "tainted". Tainted because of torture.
Same situation with Khalid Sheik Mohammad, a top al-Qaeda operative in planning 9/11.

Because of the torture factor, their cases would be thrown out, or dissected big-time by a halfway decent defense attorney, or the convictions would be overturned on appeal.

Honestly, these Bush people could fuck up a wet dream.
They have to stand on a brick to kick a duck in the ass, and more than half the time, they
miss the mark, anyway.
