Civilian Trial of 9/11 Suspects

I would like to state a brief position and inquire about the position of others
on this issue.

I feel that our civilian courts are a very appropriate place for the trial of
suspected terrorists. There are obviously laws on the books, as part of
established city, state and federal codes, that address issues of conspiracy and
mass murder. Seeing as the crimes were committed against individuals, should not
the people's court see justice is served? While the nation was damaged as a
whole on 9/11, it is our brothers and sisters in the Tri-State area that were
lost that day. I want for us to bring those responsible to justice, rather than
an arbitrary tribunal. We are a nation of laws. A tribunal, in my mind, conjures
images of bending the law, as if our laws were not good enough to establish
these tragic crimes as wrong and provable.

Please share your opinions, thanks.
