"without doing nothing" means he was doing something. McCain, Palin and Biden got paid too, along with anyone else up for election. Campaigning is required for EVERY politician. What does that have to do with multi-million dollar CEO salaries?

Besides, what would be a bigger "dog and pony show"? A civil trial, or a military tribunal where even hearsay evidence is admissible?

The strongest evidence linking KSM to 9/11 came from his computer. It's possible the prosecution won't even have to admit his confession.
Miranda doesn't apply because he was not arrested on U.S. soil, and because he was arrested by the military, not law enforcement.
Even if Miranda did apply, it would only invalidate his confessions. Testimony against him, documents and his computer files would be admissible.

"it is a few in control of our Congress ..."
You mean, the majority?

"Moreover, everyone knows that whatever the outcome of the trial, KSM will never walk free. He will spend the rest of his natural life in U.S. custody."
Actually, he can, and will, get the death penalty.

jowner, your math is wrong. The drive takes 8-10 hours. The total flight trip will take about 4 hours. That's 4-6 hours less, one way.
The $175 air fare is round trip. The cost of fuel to drive the 8-10 hours both ways is AT LEAST that much, not including the wear on the vehicle, and having to sit in a car for 8-10 hours. Even if you could car pool with three other people, the cost would be about $45 round trip. Spending at MOST $130 more once a week for quicker and MUCH safer travel makes complete sense, and it's only temporary.

Why should the State start recognizing one manufactuerer over another? Why not make Miller the official beer while he's at it?

janesvillean, didn't you know, the recession is the Democrats fault, because they took control of Congress starting January of 2007? It's all because of those mistery programs they enacted (and Bush didn't veto, aparently) that brought everything crashing down within months of them getting the majority ;)

"So lets ask members of congress the question why isnt the cost of health care debated instead of cost of insurance."
IT IS! The goal of the public option is to negotiate prices somewhere above Medicare and below the current prices, which will create competition, and lower priced insurance options for those people who don't currently have insurance.
