All kidding aside for a few minutes...BIN LADEN MUST DIE!
John French Kerry has the plan. Arrest him and put him on trial, per below.
Kerry doesn't want to subject him to a war crimes trial as the U.S. and allies did with the German and Japanese war criminals after WWII. We could try him as a war criminal in a military tribunal-like trial with military judges, limitations on access to classified materials, reduced chances of defendant turning the trial into a circus, and lower standards of proof.
Instead, Kerry wants a series of regular criminal trials, each of which would be a hundred-times more circus-like than the OJ trial. Maybe OBL would get a death penalty and he might just be executed after 10 to 15 years if he hadn't died already.
Another Kerry flip-flop. Today he says we will destroy the terrorists, but doesn't talk of trials. Q: "Yeah, Senator, but if you become President, will you read them their Miranda rights before you unload your spitballs on them?"
The Kerry plan to try Bin Laden is below.

NEWBURGH, N.Y. (AP) - John Kerry said Friday he would put Osama bin Laden on trial in U.S. courts rather than an international tribunal to ensure the "fastest, surest route" to a murder conviction if the terrorist mastermind is captured while he is president.
"I want him tried for murder in New York City, and in Virginia and in Pennsylvania," where planes hijacked by al-Qaida operatives crashed Sept. 11, 2001, Kerry said in his first interview as the Democratic presidential nominee.
