Conviction of Bin Laden’s Son-in-Law Doesn’t Halt Debate Over Terror Trials’ Venue


The verdict in the case of Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, a son-in-law of Osama bin Laden, has not lessened criticism of the move to prosecute international terrorism suspects in civil court.
Trying these cases in civil courts is an advantage for the enemy.  It gives them access to our sources and uses of information about finding and capturing them.   It was the trial of the African embassy bombers that let bin Laden know we were intercepting his satellite phone conversations.  He quit using the phone that could have warned us of the 9-11 attacks.
