Whats wrong with the American Justice system

Why do the republicans hate the American justice system so much? Why do they have no faith in a system that has served us since the beginnings of the republic, a system that is a foundation of our country? What are they afraid of? Are they afraid of truth, or honesty, or justice? Our forefathers didn't put a provision in our constitution that it applies to some people but not to others.
If an american citizen was arrested in a foreign country and was tried in a secret military tribunal the republicans would be outraged. Which is exactly what the republicans want to do with the terror suspects. Our bill of rights says that all people are created equal, it does not say that some people are created equal and others can be treated differently.

These terrorists are criminals, and they should be treated as criminals. Treating them as adversaries in a war gives them a degree of respect and legitimacy that they do not deserve. These criminals should be dealt with in our American justice system just like any other common criminal.

There is no good reason to judge them in a secret military court, unless the republicans are afraid, or are trying to hide something, or are afraid of the truth that might be revealed in an open court. I believe that these terrorist criminals will be judged honestly in an American court and will be found guilty, but I also believe that some of the heinous, barbaric, and ineffective tactics employed but some parts of our government in the name of "interrogation" will also be exposed; and in both instances the American people benefit.

The only rationale for hiding these trials from the American people is to hide the barbaric torturing that was done to some of these criminals and to protect the people who did the torturing.

As a people we can not be outraged when our citizens are tortured by a foreign country, and condone the torture of criminals that we have captured.
