However, the American Lawyers make this statement to support their position that they should be able to defend terrorists, including foreign terrorists, in US courtrooms. There is a lot of money to be made there.

Really now? Who's paying? Last I checked, court-appointed lawyers aren't making all that much.

Sandman, why do you think that accused terrorists would be represented by court appointed lawyers?
Don't you think Osama bin Laden might part with some of his wealth to obtain the best defense team money can buy? Say, Johhny Cockran, FL Bailey, et al?
If you think about it for a minute, you may realise that bin Laden may apply his wealth to the defense of any terrorist accused by the USA.
It is this wealth that the trial lawyers are after.
