But seriously, why the hell not? The american military justice system? Far be it from me to tell others how to heal relationships, but if there's one thing the yankees can do right now it's let invadees punish rogue invadors. But I'm just a guy. Why would I know anything.

I don't agree or disagree with any of the view points on this, and while there are certain advantages concerning the relationship with the Iraqi government I have to bring up a point thats been argued many times on this board alone.
Is trying them in an Iraqi court because it might help the relationship between America and Iraq going to ensure the fairness of any verdict thats decided on? Or does the fairness of the trial go out the window. And if you decide for ulterior motives sake to move this trial to a civilian forum, are the rights of the accused who is an American citizen protected under the U.S. military justice system being compromised?
One thing that I do know is that the USMJ is pretty fair and unscrupulus, they tried the people responsible and didn't try to cover it up.
