EXCUSE ME, EVERYBODY, BUT A SUSPECT IS STILL JUST A SUSPECT: LIMITING MIRANDA.
I will bet the first person to contact me with a contrary comment, a month of (modestly priced) lunches that any legislation seeking to permit a citizen to be convicted on a confession deliberately obtained without a Miranda warning will not make it past the United States Supreme Court, regardless of the ideological composition of the Court at the time.
Courtroom Security, Terror Version
In order to have the kind of security that a terror trial demands, people with other business of any kind must be totally excluded from the security perimeter.
Thus, the building to house a trial with the highest security would, of necessity, be a prison. So where is there a prison with both state of the art highest security and courtroom facilities?
Back to Guantanamo.
Whatever the political and symbolic drawbacks, it is safe.
