>> Dutch TV show exonerates Osama bin Laden

While it may seem humorous to us now, consider the possibility that bin Laden, if captured under the current administration, might be taken to trial as though he were a common criminal.

If an American jury will free OJ, you cannot rule out the possibility that one would free bin Laden. It isn't that far-fetched.

OJ was obviously guilty yet the jury, combined with the world's worst trial judge, managed to allow evidence that should never have been in (Fuhrman's alleged "racism", when there was no evidence of it, and the suggestion that such racism, had it existed, had a damned thing to do with OJ's guilt).

Suppose in a bin Laden trial huge portions of evidence are considered inadmissable for one reason or another. Could very well happen. You could end up with a directed verdict of NG.

This is the problem with Obama's approach to the war. It isn't a war anymore, it is more akin to a bank robbery.

Ted, > The truth is the US is not perfect and there are things we can learn from other nations......

You mean like the Dutch?


Now you've moved to your base level. Others call it nuanced or moving the goal posts. For me, you take on the behavior of a child. I can't handle it you when you get to this point.
