Innocent until proven guilty?

If we are giving rights to terrorists and giving them civilian trials than how can Robert Gibbs, Obama's press secretary, say we are going to execute Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. I want him executed so that isn't the problem with me. The problem is if we are going to treat them like citizens and give them rights won't this influence public opinion and then they won't be able to get a fair trial?

The Obama administration said Sunday it would consider local opposition when deciding where to hold Sept. 11 terror trials and pledged to seek swift justice for the professed mastermind of the attacks.

"Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is going to meet justice and he's going to meet his maker," said President Barack Obama's press secretary, Robert Gibbs. "He will be brought to justice and he's likely to be executed for the heinous crimes that he committed in killing and masterminding the killing of 3,000 Americans. That you can be sure of."

It is kind of hard to have a "fair" trial, like they want to do, if judgment has already been made. This is why they should be tried in a military tribunal where everything will be done in secret. It won't be made a public spectacle. And not only that it will be hundred of millions of dollars cheaper.
