It would be foolish not to call for a trial. Anyone who wants to avoid accountability would shoot first, and ask questions later. Nothing like a bunch of good killing to excite the crowds. Statesmanship is another matter. Bush could learn statesmanship from experienced individuals, but refuses, or is unable to do so. Instead it's the childish, "Bring 'em on!", and "Mission Accomplished!", b.s. for J6P, while the economy is gutted and the world turns against us making American poorer and less secure. Dean's handlers forgot to tell him that OBL took responsibility for 9/11. He's a fool for not understanding that fact.

Dean's handlers explained that after the fact and Dean has now clarified his statement: Dean's Osama oops By JOHN A. OSWALD DAILY NEWS DEPUTY NATIONAL EDITOR Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean quickly clarified comments yesterday that he won't judge Osama Bin Laden without a trial. "I've resisted pronouncing a sentence before guilt is found," Dean told New Hampshire's Concord Monitor. "I still have this old-fashioned notion that even with people like Osama, who is very likely to be found guilty, we should do our best not to, in positions of executive power, not to prejudge jury trials," he said. It took the former Vermont governor a few hours after the story got picked up on the Internet and on wire services to realize that even if the American way is "innocent until proven guilty," it might not be a courtesy extended the terror mastermind. Dean later told The Associated Press, "As an American, I want to make sure he gets the death penalty he deserves." The Dean for America press office also weighed in, issuing this statement by Dean: "I share the outrage of all Americans." He continued: "Bin Laden has admitted that he is responsible for killing 3,000 Americans as well as scores of men, women and children around the world. This is exactly the kind of case that the death penalty is meant for." The Bin Laden gaffe was just the latest in a string of Dean statements that he later found himself clarifying. The most infamous one has been his pining on the campaign trail for the votes of Southerners with Confederate flags in their pickup trucks. Dean told The AP he was simply trying to state in the Concord Monitor interview that the process of trying Bin Laden needs to be fair and credible. But he in no way sympathizes with the Al Qaeda leader, the Democratic front-runner said. "I'm just like every other American, I think the guy is outrageous," he insisted. nydailynews.com
