FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE     Nov. 19, 2009             CONTACT: Rusty Hills (517) 881-6597 War Crimes Deserve Military Trials Schuette: Try 9/11 Suspects in Military Tribunals "This is not Breaking & Entering" LANSING --- Former Michigan Court of Appeals Judge Bill Schuette today said that those prisoners accused of launching the 9/11 attacks in New York, Washington, D.C. and Pennsylvania, the first attacks on American soil since Pearl Harbor, should be tried in a military tribunal and not civilian courts. "The 9/11 attacks against America were acts of war; this is not breaking and entering," Schuette said.  "The individuals accused of these horrific attacks have been designated as 'enemy combatants,' and rightly so.  As such, America should try these prisoners in a military tribunal, just as happened after World War II in Nuremberg. " "I have said before that the world's most dangerous terrorists belong on a military base, on an island, in the middle of an ocean, and that zip code is Guantanamo Bay, Cuba," Schuette added.  "And for that same reason, the world's most dangerous terrorists should be tried in a military tribunal." According to Schuette, ""President Obama and Attorney General Holder are wrong to move these judicial proceedings to New York, and substitute a civilian trial for a military tribunal.  There is a huge difference between domestic crimes and acts of war against our country." "Thousands of innocent Americans, men, women and children died from the 9/11 assault on our country.  The families of those who died should not have to be victimized twice by giving these prisoners a platform to spew their radical ideologies," Schuette concluded. ### Paid for by Bill Schuette for Attorney General | PO Box 27188 | Lansing, MI 48909
