December 17, 2001 -- Noted Harvard law Professor Alan Dershowitz said the vile video of Osama bin laden does not necessarily prove the master terrorist's guilt.

In a column written for Toronto's National Post newspaper, Dershowitz - a lawyer who has represented Mike Tyson, O.J. Simpson and Claus Von Bulow, among others - says the tape shows only that bin Laden is a "despicable" human being.

Uh, Alan, he bragged about the hijackers not knowing their mission. That's him taking credit for it -- good enough for me.

It's not like he can say "We hid the body in the trunk" and lo and behold there it is!

Look, he could say von Bulow didn't murder Sonny, he could say OJ didn't murder his wife and her friend, so he can say that Osama is an innocent lamb. What difference does it make?

That's ridiculous. We can already establish that he is the head of the terrorist enterprise. He then admits on the tape that his organization, with his involvement (he references discussions prior to the event where they discuss potential damage) carried out the deed. He is therefore guily as a member/leader of a criminal conspiracy. He doesn't have to be linked directly to, i.e., calling Mohammed Atta and giving the go-sign. There are lesser managers for that function.

Is Dersh trying to deny that, under our conspiracy law, because Al Capone or some mob godfather, doesn't pull the trigger on a hit, that they aren't nonetheless guilty of a capital crime under our law?

I don't think so.

...."does not necessarily prove the master terrorist's guilt"

This is code for "I'm not cheap..but I can be had. Here's my card...call me".

Anything for a dollar...or a sound-bite...or a chance to write a book.

Personally, I would have taken a bullet for Hitler...taken it and put it right between his eyes.

I now understand why Dershowitz is a defense lawyer.

He'd make a terrible prosecutor.

the tape shows only that bin Laden is a "despicable" human being.

"This interview only shows that Deshowitz is a "despicable" human being. "

Always defending the indefensible. The world will be a better place when both of these pieces of garbage check out of planet earth.

You got that right.I was overjoyed to see William Kunstler take a dirt nap,and he was head and shoulders above Dershitowitz as a man-at least he served honorably in the Army before he became a commie piece of garbage.Don't forget Ron Kuby-a low rent Dershowitz.I would remind people thet Dershy is a self admitted atheist-he needs to stop being viewed as a Jew and seen for what he is - a demonic subhuman.

Doctors at Harvard Medical School revealed today that a videotape of Alan Dershowitz discussing legal theory on Larry King Live does NOT prove that he has a brain.

Dr. Wing Tipshoo of the People's Republic of Massachusetts Institute for Liberal Thought said that although the videotape clearly shows Dershowitz's lips moving, it does NOT prove that they are connected to any type of brain apparatus.

Dr. Tipshoo will continue his research at the Peoples Republic of Massachusetts Nude Beach Park where Dershowitz likes to romp and frolic unclothed in the sand in front of small children.

Why does anyone pay attention to this idiot. he is counter culture. he will argue against any logical position soley to get attention, like a child holding its breath. The more off-base he is the more attention he gets, this works for him, .

Ok people, put him to rest and get a life!

This is merely a feeble and transparant attempt, by "Outrageous Statement Of The Week" Alan Dershowitz, to garner more headlines. He's a publicity-hound. He gets his press -- and his jollies -- by "behaving badly".
