2508.\\ Miranda Rights For Bin Laden

I may have my issues with Senator Graham (some of which I have told him in person on various flights home to Greenville), but in this clip he simply destroys the AG by using his own logic against him. One thing I would ask, however, is how many phone books is Lindsey Graham sitting on?

2500.\\ Holding Holder Accountable

My Alma Mater finally joins the ranks of the right thinking. The Dean Emeritus of the BU School of Law penned an article in which he points out the inherent danger of allowing KSM to be tried as if he were a common criminal.

Put one more up on the board under 'Lesson Not Learned' for the Obama Administration.

The most chilling part of the discussion, which I hadn't even considered (stressed and obsessed as I was with the granting of US Constitutional Rights to an unlawful combatant and a terrorist while I, a legal immigrant, sit without the same Rights), is the notion that 9/11 was in part successful because of the intelligence al-Qaeda obtained from the trial of the 1993 WTC Bomber in regular court. Doesn't this just seem to set up the obvious question of whether or not we're helping some other group plan another attack against us by lifting our kimono?

****UPDATE
And Thomas Sowell weighs in with his usual thoughtful take on the situation.
