Would you want Bin Laden trial in the United States - New England Patriots Forums

With all the flip flopping on how effective our justice system will be with KSM, I was wondering if we somehow got Bin laden, would you want him to stand trial in the United States for 9-11 (assuming there is evidence of course).

Yes, absolutely. Treat him as a common criminal and killer. He does not desrve to be glorified as a captured military man. He's simply a nutcase, and I think a trial would make that all the more evident.

I know this is not a direct answer to the question but If he's captured abroad chances are he would not be turned over to us because we would seek the death penalty.

I dreamed of the day he'd stand trial after 9-11. I had it all planned out in my head. From the two or three barely old enough to drink Marines who'd drag him out of his spider hole to the Orange Jumpsuit he'd wear w/Kevlar vest/helmet and on to the number of Federal Marshals and black government SUV's that would pull up to the front of the courthouse each morning (it was the one Charlie Sheen walked into at the end of Wall Street.) I pictured the judge (an old, grumpy looking guy with piercing, stern eyes) and a lead prosecutor with a reputation for going after witnesses the way Susan Dey did on LA Law 20 years ago. (I imagined a female prosecutor would really, really piss him off.)

It was so satisfying to play that scenario out in my mind over and over again and I was just about salivating when Tora Bora came along, yet it wasn't meant to be.

No Trial

Shot and beheaded while attempting escape

This is a great question and to be honest, the idea of it scares the hell out
me.

Who would be on that jury?

A jury of his peers?

Yikes.....

Does that mean he will get a retrial if we do not allow a Muslim on his
jury?

It only takes 1 not guilty from a fanatic Muslim to get a mistrial.

This is what I would LIKE to see happen, sadly it would never happen.

If captured (add in Zawahiri here) I wouldn't want him tried at all. I would not want their capture disclosed at all. I would like to see them interrogated for any useful information they could provide. Especially who is in the chain of command (who took KSM's place for example). Use whatever methods elicits the information most accurately.

After we have obtained all useful information they can put death, sans trial. They have bragged about their acts of war against the US and in particular the intentional murder of US citizens there is nothing to prove.

There deaths should use suitable methods. Muslims will not eat pork as it is unclean and eating pork is reason to not be admitted to paradise (from what I understand). I would only offer them pork for food, they could decide to eat the pork or starve. After the eat the pork, or are close to death from starvation Take them to a pigstye (ever see how they disposed of bodies on the HBO show Deadwood?), let them see you dip a couple of bullets in bacon fat, stuff a sausage in their mouth and tape it shut, shoot them so they will die in a hour or so dump them in the pigstye and elave the pigs to dispose of them, walk away let them die, dealing with the knowledge they will never get their 72 virgins.

What a choice for moderator.

Did you apply for the job, or did someone actually recommend you?

No reason why he cannot be tried in the US, we have the world's greatest judicial system.. justice will ensue, it usually does..

Did the Cops that beat Rodney King use excessive force?
Innocent.... verdict...

Did OJ commit a double murder ?
Innocent... verdict

Did Robert Blake commit murder ?
Innocent... verdict

Darryl I have zero faith in the judicial system.
Money & fame can work wonders in the courts.

One Muslim in the jury and we are in trouble.

I will never forget witnessing a juror throw a black power salute to OJ
as he left the courtroom.
