Reader comment on item: National Security Court? We Already Have One

Mr. West,

Perhaps, the lack of utilization of such a court was not due to political correctness, but to a recognition by our political leadership that a second tier court system would be unconstitutional and a threat as severe as Islamofascism. Gitmo was a far better solution than this. While I agree that non-citizen terrorists are not entitled to the full gamut of civil rights we enjoy in this country, I think if we try them on our own soil, we open Pandora's box and risk tyranny. If we lose our basic rights and liberties, the terrorists win.
