I want PUBLIC TELEVISED TRIALS-I want the whole country to know what they
did. None of this behind closed doors crap like they conduct in the Senate. This country must learn from this very valuable and costly lesson. I don't give a shit about "putting the country through it" I don't care about "International opinion". This is a very hard lesson and this country MUST take the course.

1. I agree, and I also think it's harder on the country
to have all this secrecy. Open government HERE is what will spread our supposed values elsewhere.

2. I remember the Watergate hearings
and I felt it was very important that they were televised. If memory serves, public opinion of Congress, especially the Senate, went up after those hearings.

4. We've already been "put through it." An open trial would help
America regain its faith in itself. The only way I would support secret tribunals is if they are held at Gitmo, under Gitmo rules. :evilgrin:

5. I want prison cams on the internet.
That way we can look in on them in their cells.

7. Yes it must be televised
The world should know what the crimes and the punishments of these people are.
