Does Dean still adhere to the "good old fashioned notion" that Osama will get a JURY TRIAL? I thought that part of his statement was more outrageous than the part about "not prejudging". The dope just seemed to assume that a jury trial is in order here, and everyone else would just agree.

I'm pretty sure that Osama is already dead, but if he were caught alive I am damn sure there is no jury trial in his future.

Agreed. People like that don't seem to grasp the reality that Osama and his ilk have no respect for human life, and would view any such attempt at a "fair trial" as a sign of our weakness. They would respect an execution much more than a trial, because they engage in execution all the time.

It comes from the crazy notion that "people are basically good", even if they become mass murderers. Osama isn't "troubled" or "misunderstood", or a "victim" of some supposed wrong done to him. He's evil, by choice, and by nature. Osama has deliberately chosen the path he's on, he's not "acting out" against some supposed "trauma" done to him early in life.

We can't "understand" evil out of existence, it must be confronted and destroyed!
