Holder Says Bin Laden Won't Be Captured Alive

Attorney General Eric Holder told Congress on Tuesday that Osama bin Laden will never face trial in the United States because he will not be captured alive.

In testy exchanges with House Republicans, the attorney general compared bin Laden to mass murderer Charles Manson and predicted that events would ensure "we will be reading Miranda rights to the corpse of Osama bin Laden" not to the al-Qaida leader as a captive.

Would that be considered murder or assassination if Bin Laden turns up dead at the hands of US troops?

After the Holder said we are going to kill him?

What's the difference?

Wouldn't that make Holder guilty of conspiracy to commit murder? :uhsure:

Hell, if I were UBL and I was near the end of my operational days I would surrender myself to the US just so I could invoke the circus of chaos a public trial would create.

This means that if SOCOM ever gets a tip that gives them the remotest chance of taking the bastard alive, they will bend every effort to the task.

Funny thing about Charlie Manson, Eric.

His ass is rotting in a Commiefornia prison. Remember that? His ass was on death row until the shitheads in Commiefornia temporarily withdrew the death penalty, which commuted his sentence to life.

Bad analogy, Eric. Maybe you should just give up and go back to private practice where you can do less harm.   :whatever:
