The Bush Administration has decided against a military tribunal for Moussaoui. This seems curious to me. Any thoughts?

one theory i heard on the radio is that means they feel they have a strong enough case to win in a regular court room.

and that statement in itself seems like a good reason to be staying away from military tribunals - if their case isn't strong enough to win in court, they shouldn't win it. not to mention other perfectly good points already made.

why is it that in the face of this so many people seem to be in such a hurry to give up the very things that make this a great place?
