they just want to catch bin Laden so that they can give him civil rights and due process.

Once we have him, they will criticize our cruel treatment of him.

Remember Zarqawi? I can guarantee you that if we caught Osama today, there would be five major Demo talking points:

1. Too close to elections.
2. Bin Laden is no longer a threat, and our presence in Iraq is the real problem.
3. He is now a recruiting poster and it would be better if he were still in hiding, unable to reach Muslims around the world. (Colmes used this one with Zarqawi incessantly.)
4. However we caught him would likely violate some country's laws, and thus he would have to be held by an "international court." Bush would not allow that, and thus would be breaking with his allies.
5. NO INTERROGATING HIM! He might know of some other country we need to invade.
