"the whole 'lawsuit' bit could work in our favor. if the Johns get elected, VP Edwards could file a lawsuit against bin Laden, and when he shows up for court, WE NAB HIM!!!
"it's bulletproof!"
Your sarcasm is well taken. On the other hand, perhaps Edwards' famous courtroom manipulation of juries can be used to full advantage by letting him "negotiate" with bin Laden. I'm sure his great hair, southern drawl, boyish smile, and demonstrative hands would persuade bin Laden to just call off his goons!
Edwards' perpetual smile alone should push bin Laden into further madness, possibly make him suicidal.
