Holder: Osama bin Laden won't be brought in alive By: Josh Gerstein March 16, 2010 05:28 PM EDT
Attorney General Eric Holder told a congressional panel Tuesday that the question of reading Osama bin Laden his Miranda rights is absurd – because he won’t be brought in alive.
“Let’s deal with reality,” Holder said. “You’re talking about a hypothetical that will never occur. We will be reading Miranda rights to the corpse of Obama bin Laden. He will never appear in an American courtroom. That’s the reality….He will be killed by us or he will be killed by his own people, so he’s not captured by us. We know that.”
Holder’s comments came during a hearing where Holder and a Republican congressman debated whether bin Laden and notorious killer Charles Manson deserved the same legal rights.
During a House appropriations subcommittee hearing, Holder invoked Manson to counter Republican arguments that the administration wanted to stage civilian trials that would give alleged 9/11 plotters the same Constitutional rights afforded to the average American.
“These defendants, many of whom are charged with murder, would be treated just like any other murder defendants,” Holder said with evident exasperation. “The comparison….the question is: Are they being treated the way any other murderer would be? They have the same rights Charles Manson would have.”
While Holder thought the Manson comparison would make Americans feel more comfortable with the idea of civilian trials for terrorism suspects, Rep. John Culberson (R-Texas) disagreed and sensed an opening.
“Osama bin Laden, in your opinion, has the same rights as Charles Manson?” a dubious Culberson asked.

Barry said that he would capture Bin. Film at 11.
My opinion exactly... and for the reasons that you stated. He's AG, not CENTCOM. He doesn't get to make those decisions, but he must be prepared if circumstances hand him OBL alive & on a platter. He's admitting he has no policy worth spit concerning the trial of an enemy mastermind.
Is there a difference between Holder being hired by Osama or being hired by Obama?? The names and their actions and Hatred for America seem to differ very little...:-)
And isn't this "Cowboy" speak? You know, "Bring 'em on", (ironically, from an ineffectual administration that extends apologies and deadlines as a means of projecting weakness)?
.
Since Bin Laden is already dead and has been for years I think Holder is on to something.
Will this officially make Osama bin Laden a Corpseman?
Bin (part/son of) La (not) Din (prounounced ‘deen’)
Last 3 words of the sura of the ‘Clot’ that is Sura #1.
So, ‘not of those who have gone astray’ (as in a purist of the faith).
So, Slaughter Deem might be a variation of the proununciation, no? to Bin La Deem the passage of health care? The words we need to hear are being spoken to a different audience.
That’s because the pri** is already dead, and has been for years, anyone who thinks otherwise has no brain or is incapable of using it.
Its ok to kill him, just don’t waterboard him.
He’s dead Jim.
This is what affrmative action and political correctness get you....
Bin = son
La = to, for
Din = judgment.
Son of judgment.
If I were an Obama administration official, I’d sure as hell be looking at a way to avoid giving credit to the Bush administration for taking out Bin Ladin. Holder’s statement reeks of setup for the story they’ll eventually be using.
OK.
Bin = Ben in Hebrew
I learned la as a negative, as in la illh’u’llah’u’la. “There is no god but God.” etc.
Din as ‘judgment’ gone astray/judgment. OK.
They’re still the last 3 words. Din as judgment works well into the English ‘Deem’, too, since’s it’s unilateral.
So...let me see...Holden, all of a sudden, possess the uncanny ability to foresee the future, while in his own words he does not deny the possibility of reading the Miranda to bin Laden.
Beam me up Scotty!
Should have noticed it...Dammit!
Well! Waterboarding is obviously Torture since every Greek Fraternity and Sorority does it to their Pledges, at least to a Lib’s sick demented mind, but its fine in their mind if a Jihadist cuts off Our Citizen’s Genitals, then their arms and tongue while raping them because obviously they wouldn’t do it unless we must have looked crosseyed at them or something. Reverend Wright, OBOZO, and Farrakkon have made that painfully clear to all of us good honest Americans!
This statement is tantamount to asserting that the government of the United States will santion Bin Laden’s assination. They screeched about this for decades. Duplicitous bastards.
Because Osama is already dead and has been for many years.
