I could care less about whether bin-Laden or any of his ilk get due process - frankly if we nuked the entire Middle East to get him it wouldn't bother me all that much. I'm just throwing out some thoughts to an audience that by and large doesn't really trust our federal government all that much - remember Ronald Reagan's remark about "I'm from the government and I'm here to help" being the nine scariest words in the English language!
I'm just wondering if what we see and hear is reality. The tin-foilers seem to be the only ones questioning it - I'm just wondering if it's really fair to just dismiss them out of hand.

None of President Reagan's words scared me. I don't see the Govt is all that bad, especially outside the Clinton years, which were disastrous for we working people.
The tinfoilers are going to find a conspiracy somewhere, somehow and somplace, and yes, I think it is most fair to dismiss them in this case. I'm willing to wait to see what happens with the Armed Forces finest doing their work in the Middle East; they will be doing things we may never know about, and that's fine with me, since I have faith they will get the job done.
My comment about sealed indictment was intended to say that we do not have privy to all information--there again, I trust AG Ashcroft and some of his finest (like Chertoff) will take care of things. We could even have surprises down the road with regard to past deeds.
Bottom line is, I'm just not into bashing my Govt, especially when we're at war--it is a horrible sign to the enemy that we're not united, and we are, by and large.
Any body know?
What is the OFFICIAL story on them?
