Prosecute it as the crime it was. Like we did with the Locherbie bombing, or the Oklahoma City bombing.You can't invade terrorism. You can't occupy terrorism. A war on terrorism turns into a never-ending war, used to justify everything from collecting your phone calls to giving local cops military grade weapons.
can't work, simply not plausible, reasonable doubt would be far to easy to achieve
Obama and the left jammed that down our throat one time, and he almost paid dearly. A Gitmo detainee was acquitted on something like 71 out of 72 charges (maybe 74 out of 75)
Lets see, you were being attacked and bullets were flying all around you as you were ducking for cover and you can positively identify the defendant who was wearing a balaclava and supposedly firing at you from 100 yards away? bawawawawawaawwawwawawawaawaw. My client was an innocent bystander, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time when he was captured.
Or how about "I'm sorry your honor, our witness is an undercover agent and cannot testify"
or maybe "our witness was killed in battle"?
How on earth do we convict an UBL with so many loose ends? How much violence would there be while he's held captive and subsequently tried? Do you think anyone else would die?
I think there's a reason they killed him and dumped his body
