We are led to believe that a bunch of good guy special forces are closing in on Laden at this very moment. Have they been properly trained on making sure Laden is given his miranda rights? Is Laden to be tried by a jury of his peers? Who are Laden's peers?
Are all the squads carrying search warrants that they might need before they enter his cave?
I can't help but to suspect that all information the good guys have obtained in the war has not been gathered using proper rules of evidence.
What happens if one or more witness against Laden puts his life on the line in a foreign (Arab) country if he comes forward? What if a witness is a CIA good guy who will have his position exposed by coming forward?
It's an unfortunate thing, but otherwise civilized people try to conduct their wars in only as civilized a fashion as possible. I would say the US of late bends over backwards along those lines. Maybe what war is is an exercise in trying to maintain a semblence of civilization while killing the bad guys. It certainly isn't a time to extend U.S. Constitutional rights to people that have no claim to them. It's a time to do what is necessary to secure the safety of as many Americans and American allies as possible, probably while killing a large number of bad guys along the way.
