A lot of people suspect the U.S. military trial system, especially in Europe.

Unprintable comment.

"In the war on terrorism there is no greater prize than Osama bin Laden. But the question nags: What would the United States do with him?"

Our household doesn't find this nagging a question and anyone with a tiny bit of common sense doesn't find this a nagging question either.

"what would the United States do with him"

I'll bet the citizens of the US can come up with some suggestions!

Who in the hell thinks this is a nagging question?

If we don't (literally) crucify him (with nails) and sew him up in pigskin after weeks and months of abject torture I'd be very, very upset.

[SeeRushToldU_So]

Oh brother, I guess we should just let him go. I can't believe someone write this kind of crap with a straight face.

[The Great Satan]

In the war on terrorism there is no greater prize than Osama bin Laden.

Actually, no. There's a much bigger prize: the actual author of the 9-11 attack and every major attack on the US since the end of the Gulf War, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, whom we just caught. Bin Laden's just an infomercial pitch man -- he couldn't organize his way out of a paper bag. Even if he is alive, which is unlikely, he was strictly a second-tier player before, and now he's not a player at all.

Is the ACLU going international now?

[Non-Sequitur]

Simple answer. Instead of taking him alive just take him dead. Who cares if the rest of the world doubts that we got him, we'll know.

I think a good perp walk in an orange jump suit might be just as demoralising to the radical fundamentalist world wide.

Interrogate Zawhari and KSM.

Binny?

Kill him where he stands.

[DrCarl]

What would the United States do with him?

Let him keep his promise to die this year. Aid him in the fullfillment of this desire immediately upon capturing him.

Pretty straight forward.

The LATimes must have walls of vending machines to dispense "Depends" undergarments to their writing staff. They must wet their pants on a such a frequent basis over concerns about "what the world will think of the United States?" that they would not have time to write this material without a constant supply of "Depends". They seem to be far happier decrying how the United States has lost the "good will and sympathy of the world" over 9/11 than they are about an effective response to terrorism.

I say wring Osaama dry extracting all useable knowledged of terrorism, try him by military tribunal, and publically execute him. There should be no shortage of military personnel willing to perform these tasks. After hearing the President last night state his clear intention to do what is necessary to defend the United States, I have no doubt that this President will do just that despite any limp-wristed, panty wetting, liberal wailings such as this.

Oh I can just see the bed-wetting lefties already fretting. This is an easy job....photograph every interview. Let all the lefties see how gently we actually treat POWs...then to the horror of the lefties, when we are finished, let Rudy Guiliani ring in the New Year by tossing him off the top of the Empire State Building as the big ball drops on Times Square!

[LurkedLongEnough]

Put him in a chair where the slightest movement on his part causes a massive nuclear denotation in a particular part of the world which shall remain nameless.
