The article focuses on the terrorism problem in the U.S. Television audiences say not to burden citizens with the obligation of serving on juries for people who hate Americans. According to most polls, approximately 60 percent of Americans wholeheartedly endorse such measures through the vehicle of U.S. President George W. Bush's recently ordered military tribunals. Figures also show that many of those same Americans seem to feel that such measures will affect only a few noncitizens and that the real subject of such tribunals will be terrorist Osama bin Laden. Yet there are about 17 million noncitizen residents in the U.S.
