humm, KSM will never get off, or that is he'll never be cut loose no matter the verdict, now, osama will never be brought in alive because, we'd kill him or his people would.

The inference is clear at least to me, that if we cornered Osama and had the chance we wouldn't take him alive, there either would be standing orders or someone on the spot would take matters into their own hands, this as justification for refusing to answer the question. His comparison to Charles Manson is , well, weird, what page is he on?

I wonder how the militarily feels about this? Do they know that the expectation is osama be killed rather than brought in alive, or that at least its its our AG's firm belief thats what will occur?

Can that be read as tacit approval?


For a guy who's supposed to be the no. 1 law enforcement official in the country, these are some bizarre statements imho.





Eric Holder: Osama bin Laden won't be brought in alive


Attorney General Eric Holder told a congressional panel Tuesday that the question of reading Osama bin Laden his Miranda rights is absurd – because he won’t be brought in alive.

“Let’s deal with reality,” Holder said. “You’re talking about a hypothetical that will never occur. We will be reading Miranda rights to the corpse of Obama bin Laden. He will never appear in an American courtroom. That’s the reality….He will be killed by us or he will be killed by his own people, so he’s not captured by us. We know that.”

Holder’s comments came during a hearing where Holder and a Republican congressman debated whether bin Laden and notorious killer Charles Manson deserved the same legal rights.

I think you're reading too much into what he said, Imp.

I've long thought that we'll never get him alive. Certainly that would be preferable, but I think it's outside the realm of reality. He'll likely be killed in an airstrike, or his own people will kill him if troops on the ground are getting to the point where his capture is iminent.

I think you're seeing this as the AG saying that he should be killed, as opposed to will be killed...

sure, I see that, but I think he should answer the question, he had no issue making comments as to where Osama would be tried if caught several months ago.

And just as an aside, I don't think anyone thought we would get Saddam either soooooooo.......

I think there is at least a 50% probability that he's already dead, we all know voices and people can be imitated, films faked and old films and voice recordings can be used, remember that Saddam Hussien had doubles.

Well we know what Osama is going to do now if we get too close.

Fools. The lot of them.

Bush put a $25million bounty on Osama's head. I don't suppose Obama would honor that if Private X from Georgia put a bullet in Osama's head, do you.

OBL is dead... and has been for a while.

holy shit holder has a set of balls. !



i for one don't have a problem with bin laden never making it to trial. shot while resisting arrest never sounded so good.

I think he may be dead also but if he is not his men won't let him be captured breathing. He may do his self in. There is no way he wants to be held by Americans. Mr. Holder is correct. I don't want to waste any money housing this man.

President Obama's second term begins January 20, 2013

I think this is rather like President Obama, also a lawyer, who said a man charged with a crime would be convicted and sentenced harshly. Now, when given a hypothetical case, it is, in my opinion, irrelevant to say that since the person won't be taken alive anyway, why worry?

I want OBL brought in alive. That way we can clearly show to the whole world that he's given a scrupulously fair trial before he's hung. It's time we started demonstrating that we really believe in what we say we're trying to promote in other nations.

I think we should halt all this ruffian talk of killing Bin Laden......

I guess I missed the point where it became taboo to speak about our intent to exact our revenge on Bin Laden if we are ever given the chance.

I don't think Holder is letting any new cats out of the bag on this one either....

I think President Obama's statement about the sheik having a civilian trial where he would be found guilty and get an appropriate punishment was a truly bizzare comment for a man who is allegedly a lawyer to make.
