What is you commit a crime in another country and you were put on trial there? Granted now, this is a country with a helluva lot less rights and freedoms than our own? You're up shits creek though...b/c you are only covered under THEIR law.

I firmly believe that IF any foreigners are caught and prosecuted due to 9/11, they should be afforded the US legal system. Those prosecuted in the 1993 bombing were afforded that.

4) Say what you will, but the Islamic world seem to be the crux of the majority of terrorist attacks for many years now.
Maybe against the US and Israel. Then there are the IRA and ETA (both of which are from predominantly Catholic populations).
