RUSH:... If, ladies and gentlemen, Osama Bin Laden is brought to the United States under these new Supreme Court rules -- as supported by the haughty John Kerry and Richard Clarke and everybody else in Obama's foreign policy apparatus -- and we bring Osama in under the presumption of innocence, somebody explain to me why we are trying to kill him? Why have we sent out Special Ops, SEAL teams, drones? Why have we sent the best we've got into those mountainous regions since 2001 to kill Obama if, in our court system, he would be presumed innocent? And, why is it that so many Democrats, lo these many years, have proclaimed the war on terror a failure because we have not killed Osama? We haven't captured Osama or killed Osama. But it's okay to nuke the guy on the battlefield. Why are we trying to kill Osama Bin Laden if he will be assumed innocent in an American courtroom? (cont.)
Should Bin Laden Be Presumed Innocent, Senator Obama?

hello—am I the only conservative in this room who knows about the Nuremburg Trials? We had Nuremburg trials for a reason. Had Adolf Hitler not burned himself to death, he would have stood trial at Nuremburg, under a presumption of innocence until proven guilty.
We try to kill our enemies in the field. But when they are captured, they are subject to due process—either in military courts or civilian courts or international courts. But they must be subject to SOME kind of court and SOME kind of due process. Even if no innocents have been swept up into the net, a free nation of laws must have due process even for the lowest scum.
Conservatives do not allow Presidents to imprison people for life just because they’re said to be an enemy. Can you imagine how a President Hussein might use that power?
