The decision to try five of the alleged masterminds of the Sept. 11 attacks in our civilian courts is alarming. Oddly, the same Congress that would not fund the closure of the Guantanamo Bay (Gitmo) facility has now, mostly due to inaction, ensured the worst of the worst terrorists will receive the full U.S. constitutional protections that are normally afforded only to U.S. citizens....

So there are five candidates, each with the ability to get noticed. Whether each should be taken seriously is something else.
The leader by far is eastern Connecticut's former U.S. representative, Rob Simmons of Stonington, who in terms of experience may be as qualified for the Senate as anyone in the country -- Vietnam veteran with two Bronze Stars, CIA officer, Senate committee staff director, state representative for 10 years, U.S. representative for six years, and state government's business advocate.
