It's amazing that you can make so many complaints about generalizations.

You missed the first sentence of my post, "From other threads, a lot of people", not "JPhillips".
Many people here have argued that foreign terrorists are entitled to civilian trials in civilian U.S. courts. I can't remember if you were one. But now that Obama is going along with the status quo, it seems he's given people "moral permission" to stop demanding that, as they did under Bush.
A civilian trial assumes constitutional rights. If you have a civilian trial without the constitutional rights - it's just a military tribunal.
