I think this guy Clapper’s brain has been warped by venereal disease

[ml/nj]

I'd hold him there until dawn the next day; and save everyone a whole bunch of dinero.

Leon's been watching too much TV lately.

Catch ObL? Pannetta couldn't catch a cold.

Pannetta couldn't catch a cold.

Wait a minute, did you see the size nose on that guy?

Panetta: If captured, bin Laden would be held at Guantánamo

Should be: If WHEN captured, bin Laden would be held at Guantanamo.

All the satellites in use and we can't find this 6'4" man? If he's not in an area where he can be apprehended easily, why can't he be targeted with our drones. How many years has it been since 9/11 that he's evaded our best technology?

[mad_as_he$$]

If I captured him he would be found hanging by the neck at ground zero one morning. Wrapped in pig skin.

[reefdiver]

yea , next to the birth certificate

[mad_as_he$$]

lol...Two myths?

[GVnana]

Uh Leon you'd better check with the White House on that......

Perhaps Leon is doing Obama's talking for him?

[libbylu]

He should be thrown out of the plane on the way to Gitmo.

I’d be selling Viewer Tickets.
Much $$$.

Except, couldn’t count on all NYers - and I was born in Manhattan.

Have to remember some NYers are Transplants.

If Bin Ladin were captured, I would expect the news to kept on the q.t. until it was strategically advantageous to announce it.

Even if he wasn’t captured, it might still be a good story to convincingly put out as disinformation to perhaps smoke him out.

But if it were an undisputable fact that Bin Ladin was captured, then just put him in a cage and put him on display coast to coast.

Guys like Bin Ladin hate to be mocked, that would be more damaging to him- and more important, his movement- than it would be to just kill him.

I think it would be a gas to capture the dork and behead him.....but keep him alive....from the neck up so to speak.

We could tour him around selling tickets the whole way.

For a little extra, you could get a ticket to piss in his face, take a dump on him.....the more you pay the more you play.

Ought to be a money-maker.

[prairiebreeze]

I find the question itself a little ridiculous. Is there nothing more pressing to ask Panetta and....Clapper (rolling eyes)...than this hypothetical?

[luvie]

I hope he never lives long enough to make it to Gitmo!

[Candor7]

If captured, he should never survive the trip to Guantanamo.

[Candor7]

Agreed. And I would call AL Jeezera to broad cast him all over the Muslim world, hanging there and collecting Manhatten blow flies from Chinatown, playing a recording of a herd of rooting swine in the background.

[Revolting cat!]

Here is a hypothetical:

” If President Obama was adjudged to be treasonous, would he be held in Guantanamo Bay?”

[oscar oscar oscar]

On more than one one occasion I have had the dreadful thought of Obama having struck some deal with Islamic leaders where Bin Laden just ‘happens’ to be caught just prior to the 2012 election...the real nightmare is what he would give up to make the deal.
