It’s a legal argument. Thompson is the one who interjected the law into this debate, in true lawyer fashion. Bin Laden does not deserve due process of law.
Sure he does. Of course, many factors affect the level of process a person is due to receive. When we capture Bin Laden, I think we should undertake sufficient process to confirm that the guy we captured is actually the guy we're looking for and not some impostor or look-alike.
