"We do believe that what are called Article Three trials, in other words in our civilian courts, are appropriate for the vast majority of detainees," Clinton told Fox News' Chris Wallace.

"We get convictions, we send people away in our civilian courts at a much more regularized-- and-- and predictable way than yet we've been able to figure out how in the military commission."

"It is good enough and strong enough to either convict and sentence the guilty, or even execute where appropriate, and where you can't convince an American jury, which is certainly obsessed with terrorism, maybe there's a question about the strength of the case," she said.

1. Oh geez, Hillz is gonna get slammed over that statement.

But I'll bet she can take the heat.

Seems she's learning how to push the buttons of the insane right for maximum effect.

should have thought about that while they were cheering torture...The FBI has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that their technique is far better that torture!
