U.S. Will Read Miranda Rights To 'Corpse Of Osama Bin Laden'

killing for peace is like fucking for virginity

Another worthless waste of people's time intended only as a distraction for the unimpeded bullshit going on behind the scenes. Bah. Propaganda garbage.

Bin Laden? Oh yeah! That's what this whole thing was about! It just seemed like the United States has always been at war with someone, you kind of forget who they're after or what the point of it all is.

Independence! Civil Liberties! Spreading Democracy! and Fighting the Spread of Communism! Fighting Terrorism! ---I'm pretty sure that when the U.S. was fighting the spread of communism, they sort of armed and trained the terrorists they're fighting today, as well as promoting the Zionist movement of Israel... just saying.

"War for Peace", right?

"Kill every last one of them!" and "Let's nuke them to hell!"

What would the world be like if the United States decided not to kill every last one of its enemies?

Bringing those that do wrong to justice? What?! Not in this reality. And let this big old military just sit idly by while there are scum-bags to kill? Please... The world will never see peace until the people of the United States are damn well and ready to stop criticizing they're government and actually take the initiative to stop the military industrial complex from continuing its operations... and there is reason enough to doubt that will ever happen. How many people do you think are even considering voting this November? The Senate elections could be the U.S.'s chance to get rid of a lot of the old corrupt faces in Washington D.C., but does it seem that important to many Americans? hmmmm...

Well I certainly enjoyed this rant. Happy St. Patti's ;) hiccup...

best...headline...ever...

The title sounds like a death threat.

This is a example of posturing. Osama died three years ago in a iranian hospital.

Did Attorney General Eric Holder and Gen. Stanley McChrystal get caught up in a "Freaky Friday" type body switch?

You'd expect "will never face trial in the United States because he will not be captured alive." comment from a soldier not a lawyer.

And you'd think the "we would certainly go after trying to capture him alive and bring him to justice," would be something more appropriate to a lawyer than a soldier

WASHINGTON — The top U.S. commander in Afghanistan said Wednesday that it remains the goal of U.S. troops to capture Osama bin Laden alive and "bring him to justice."

The comment by Gen. Stanley McChrystal to reporters was in contrast to remarks made a day earlier by Attorney General Eric Holder. Holder told Congress that the chances of capturing bin Laden alive were "infinitesimal" because he would probably be killed by U.S. forces or by one of his own fighters.

Bin Laden's whereabouts have longed vexed U.S. officials. But his elusive status has recently taken on new meaning as President Barack Obama pushes to try suspected terrorists in civilian courts instead of more secretive military tribunals.

Congressional Republicans are pushing back by saying that bin Laden and others like him shouldn't be given the same rights as U.S. citizens.

Holder said in House testimony that terrorists wouldn't be given any more rights than serial killers like Charles Manson. He also dismissed the example of bin Laden being given access to U.S. courts as a red herring in the debate.

"Let's deal with reality," Holder said. "The reality is that we will be reading Miranda rights to the corpse of Osama bin Laden. He will never appear in an American courtroom."

When McChrystal was asked whether the U.S. had given up on capturing bin Laden alive, he said, "Wow, no."

If bin Laden enters Afghanistan, "we would certainly go after trying to capture him alive and bring him to justice," McChrystal told Pentagon reporters from Kabul.

"I think that is something that is understood by everyone," he said.

BIN LADEN CAN'T DIE BECAUSE IF HE DID, THE WAR MONGERS WOULDN'T HAVE ANY REASON TO KEEP THE WAR MACHINE AND THE KILLING GOING.
THEY'VE GOT TOO MANY MORONS IN THE US CONVINCED.THE MILITARY NEEDS BIN LADEN AS MUCH AS BIN LADEN NEEDS THEM.

ALLAH FORBID THAT BIN LADEN DIES!!!!!!!! (ONLY INNOCENT MUSLIMS AND AMERICANS).

S.

"The comparison to convicted killer Manson angered Rep. John Culberson, R-Texas, who said it showed the Obama administration doesn't understand the American public's desire to treat terrorists as wartime enemies, not criminal defendants."

With respect, if by "wartime enemies" Culberson is referring to war criminals, guess what they get?

Civilian trials in international courts, just like everybody else. That's what happened at Nuremberg.

This issue is easily abated by what the alternative that Culberson is keeping his mouth shit about, a prison body outside of the justice system uncontrolled by the American public who will put people in prison simply because the state doesn't like them.

These people act like an AMERICAN JURY is about to let Bin Laden go. Not even Johnny Cochran could defend the guy. You'd be lucky if you get a jury that wouldn't MURDER him -themselves.-

Ha! Epic win.

They will be treated as "wartime enemies" when Congress actually declares war!

"Obama administration doesn't understand the American public's desire to treat terrorists as wartime enemies, not criminal defendants." - How does he know that? That's what maybe Republicans want but they lost the election.

And treat terrorists as "wartime enemies"? That means, if they are captured alive you keep them in jail until the war is over. Then what? You release them? After all, they're just soldiers following orders during wartime.

Bin Laden has been using American weapons to fight America & he doesn't even have to do any of the real fighting,in fact he hardly has to do anything at all!!!America going out of control is kinda like a win for him! & It's an absolute no duh ,that we will never find Bin Laden alive!!! Hell!!! He'll be long dead before the US army is even in the same country as him!!!

Of course will never face trial in the United States - he was killed in late December 2001.

I predict , they will find a his supposedly dead body , read the rites , and proclaim they have also found a new info on another arch villain to chase . This tactic will extend funding for the wars and show something in the way of results as well as connect it to 911 . Keep people too scared to think and keep the war machine pumping out money for the select few .

Why do so many people INSIST on calling Charles Manson a mass murderer? He convinced OTHER people to kill---he never killed anyone himself!
Also, I wouldn't mind my tax $$$ to go toward housing terrorists in the American prison system, as long as they are tortured hourly. Otherwise, when they find him, just kill him like this article alludes to, but maim him and torture him for a good while first. Hell---don't they need him alive for a little while to get info from him? Inserting white-hot sewing needles into testicles goes a long way...so does sandpaper on the genitals, etc. I am available for the job as Lead Torture Technician, should they ever find a need! I'd even volunteer!

this AG needs to be charged with treason and promptly shot for aiding and abetting the enemy!...all these enemy combatants should be tried in a military tribunal, then promptly shot...to give these guyz the rights of american citizens is a travesty...amierican lawyers can play these jury's like a fiddle (i can just hear them now "the legacy of american imperialism") ...feast upon these pix lady's and gentlemen of the jury (the lawyer shows them the most graphic pix of children, women & old men blown to bits) all taken out of context of course, but the damage has already been done!...they will have some walking away like OJ Simpson!

LOL, that should be easy if they know where he's already buried. This is getting pathetic. Everytime support for their wars goes soft they drag out their bogeyman.

he almost sounds as tough as McBushie, and we all know how week that is...

if he is captured alive he is still not a U.S. citezen. He is an extra national who has comited genocide, Piracy, extra national warfare, and has admited outright that he has comited these crimes He is not entitled to the same protections as a citizen. I would love to see him tried in a Newy York court, or at the very least taken to the Brooklen navy Yard and hung by the neck with a pigskin rope. A true insult to the pig.

we were at war with oceania, no we're allies, no we're with war with eurasia.
Well at least we're not hunting communist anymore, that just seemed less exciting.

The keystone cops can actually catch this guy, dead alive, or five years decomposed? You mean we don't have to spend eternity looking for him at $1 million per troop (x 100,000+ and counting) in 2010 dollars? What fantasy world are you living in?

America couldn't catch a Muslin terrorist if one walked up to the Pentagon.

"we will be reading Miranda rights to the corpse of Osama bin Laden" not to the al-Qaida leader as a captive."

two words for that : "NO SHIT"

Likely he has been dead for some time .

interesting how Osama bin Laden is the one who was our main objective in the "war on terror" and with almost 10 years going by we haven't found this man on the planet earth, but we have gone off on many tangents while we were trying to find him. It's like we know there's a killer on the loose a mile down the street, but we decide that while we're going to take care of him, we're going to take out all the gang bangers along the way while we're at it.
