John Ashcroft’s Military Tribunal Guidelines
(Simplified for the Senate)
By:
Li Rapkin

I will try them with a fish
I will try them as I wish
I will try them on a ship
That doesn’t make the radar blip
I will try them in the rain
I will try them on a plane
(Unless they have been caught in Spain)

I will try them in the dark
I will try them in the park
I will try them in D.C.
So Yassir Arafat can see
I will try them in Japan
I will try them in Iran
I will try them anywhere I can

I will not tell you who they are
I will detain them near and far
You ask about the trial’s rules
But that is not my job, you fools!
I will catch them if they run
I‘ll ask them about nine-one-one
But I won’t ask if they have a gun

I will try them, Mr. Hatch
All the terrorists we catch
After all, we are at war
It’s a threat we can’t ignore
I used to be where you now sit
They will be tried as I say fit
So please don’t give me any shit
