Congressional lawmakers are proposing legislation that would halt any trial of terrorists from taking place in an American community. My question is what do they intend to do instead? Too long have we let these terrorist rot in their cells without due trial. I understand that they aren't citizens and they have done heinous things, but that does not give the United States government the right to ignore the basic principals our nation was founded on. We need to show the world we still have a justice system in which, as Atticus Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird said, "all men are created equal." If these men are truly guilty then they can stand at trial and get the sentence they deserve.
