How do you suppose we get information from the terrorists then? Simply ask politely? Fuck no. From information you have provided, there is no actual evidence proving we actually torture these terrorists. The only actual "torture technique" I have heard about is washboarding, which is where the detainee lies flat on his back and they pour water over him/her to create the illusion they are drowning. Although that definitely is not comfortable, it is in no way inhumane. Plus, if we bring the detainees into America, that gives them the privilege of living here (even though it would be in jail) No one wants to live by a terrorist. Lastly, who do you think will have to pay for the moving, putting them on trial and jailing them? WE will. The tax payers have already suffered enough as it is and will have to endure far worse in the future, due to Obama's "help". I just ask you to think before you speak.

You make an excellent point for our troops executing justice in the field rather than letting lawyers into the process.

I think a key question is why we would need a hybrid court system, when the current court system is alread able to handle cases such as those where an intelligence agency is infiltrated by a spy, where a great deal of secret evidence is presented.
