McCain: bin Laden could face Nuremberg-like justice
CNN.com ^ | 07/25/2008 | Ed Hornick

Posted on 07/25/2008 1:20:18 PM PDT by Glenn

He told CNN's Wolf Blitzer, "We have various options. The Nuremberg Trials are certainly an example of the kind of tribunal that we could move forward with. I don't think we'd have any difficulty in devising an international -- internationally supported mechanism that would mete out justice. There's no problem there."

McCain said it would be a "good thing to reveal to the world the enormity of this guy's crimes, and his intentions, which are still there."

You vote for him. I'm not sure I'd want to be responsible for an outcome like this.

For that reason alone, I say “Shoot the pig-molester until he’s dead.”

More likely Hague-like justice. Justice that moves at glacial speed. Better just to shoot him.

The best possible trial for OBL is to put him in the general population in NYC.

Why not just tie bin Laden in a chair in a large office building and fly a plane directly into him. He will then feel just how painful ignited jet fuel oil feels.

This is very bold of McCain. Just wow. I don’t think I’ve seen a Republican this bold. Amazing!

What are you going to do to my nation in the first 100 days, you jack ass?

Actually it's the safest thing to say considering a summary execution would be the most likely event but the most controversial if pre-exposed.

Don’t forget to read him his rights, or we’ll have to let him go.

We screwed up with Saddam Hussein by taking him alive. Alive he spawned a media circus and lots of embarassment.
I would hope that we learned our lesson. Osama should only be taken dead.

No, no public trial. A quick military hearing where we document that this is indeed Bin Ladin, and a brief explanation for the books the reason we are going to hang him. And then we hang him. Shouldn’t take more than an afternoon.

If you turn this into a media circus, you’ll have done more harm than good. If you presume innocence and allow his attorneys to start subpoena’ing anybody and everybody, and this thing drags out for 6 months, you’ll do more harm than good. This should be run as a war-trial. Quick, too the point, outcome assured, and then straight to the gallows.

> Don’t forget to read him his rights, or we’ll have to let him go.
Rights?
He has the right to die in the most gruesome and painful method that can be conceived.
He has the right to be hungry.
He has the right to be thirsty.
He has the right to have his head removed from his body, mounted and put on display in our nation’s capital for all to see.

It would be OK to give Bin Laden a Nuremberg style hanging. But where are they going to find a creative hangman like Sargent Woods today?

I say, once captured, one bullet to the back of the head, preferably by one of the 9/11 first responders who joined up for military service, then throw OBL’s sorry dead ass in a ditch, douse it with gasoline and set it on fire then fill the hole with a mixture of dirt and pig manure and call it a day.

If he can’t be soaked in pheromones from an in-heat sow and put in a cage with a pack of boars, I hope he meets the John Dillinger end - no rights-reading, no trial, just gunned down while running.

Osama bin Laden should be raped by a dog and then “compelled” to commit suicide in a humiliating fashion (an act of cowardice). Either incarceration or direct execution would be an ideological victory for Islamofascists, who crave martyrdom as an end for their hero. Dying slowly while hiding in a cave is OK too I guess - it is at least a coward’s death as well.

I am going to wait for the entire transcript to see what the question was.

My guess he was asked whether he would support a Nuremberg style commission.

Please, Dear Lord!

Can John McCain, somehow, shut the heck up until I have to go vote for him in November, and then drag my retching near-lifeless body out behind my polling place and vomit out my guts.

Please???

Do you think he's been misquoted? Taken out of context? Tricked by Blitzer?

How devious the MSM is.
