"There was a jury & court involved, post the event I grant you"
So then you support shoot first and ask questions later I see. No different chap.
"Will these Somali 'suspects' be tried in court, ever? Probably not"
At least as good a chance as the IRA thugs had before the trigger was pulled. Not usre, will look it up when I get home but I believe some were tried in absentia. If true, then if they are among the dead, they received at least as fair a trail as the IRA boys in Gib.
"As it is, they lock them up for years without trial in a prison"
You talking about gitmo or a certain prision that housed IRA terrorists?
"Probably not. Because most of them were probably collateral"
The op isn't complete, how do you feel using what little info is out there you can make an informed conclusion? Credibilty at stake.
Trying to stake the moral high ground must be tough when the surface is made of swiss cheese.
