>> >Apples and pineapples. No, it really isn't. The OJ trial is a perfect example of what can happen when a person, who is guilty as sin, with money employs a "dream team" of attorneys. There is nothing whatsoever to suggest that the same thing couldn't happen in a bin Laden trial. To be clear -- are you suggesting that the terrorists with whom we're at war, should receive the benefits provided to alleged criminals by the American judicial system? This would be a radical change from the way we have fought wars in the past. Is that what you're suggesting? If it is you should consider that the next step is that these people have to be mirandized, they have a right to an attorney -- provided by the court, and all the other things that alleged criminals get in America. You can't have it both ways. You'll either treat them like combatants or criminals. Which is it? If it is as criminals are you prepared for the consequences of doing so (like a bin Laden getting off on a technicality because he wasn't mirandized).
