Wow: "Leahy: No need to interrogate bin Laden" -- By: Rich Lowry
The Corner on National Review Online —
From The Hill:
If the U.S. captures Osama bin Laden, there's no need to interrogate him, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee said Thursday.
Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), the chairman of that committee, said that arguments raised by Republican senators about whether bin Laden would be afforded Miranda rights if he were captured was a "red herring."
"The red herring that my friend [Sen.] Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) was covering is not realistic," Leahy said during an appearance on "Washington Journal" on ...

Leahy Lunacy
Power Line —
... that under the Obama administration's law-enforcement approach to terrorism, if we capture Osama bin Laden the first things we'll have to do are read him his rights and get him a free lawyer. When Lindsay Graham pointed this out to Eric Holder in yesterday's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Holder feebly responded that maybe we wouldn't have to Mirandize bin Laden because the evidence against him is "overwhelming."
This answer was essentially nonsensical, but Pat Leahy amplified it this morning, in a further effort at spin control:

So We Don’t Need To Interrogate Him …
Jules Crittenden —
... But is it OK if we just leave the lights on, crank the AC/DC,* give him a bath or 183, and maybe walk the dogs? Not to extract information or anything illegal like that … I guess not, seeing as they would probably be holding the criminal suspect known as Osama bin Laden at Rikers Island if they did capture him. I hope he gets along with the other inmates. via The Hill , Leahy: No need to interrogate OBL. It’s just the latest lunacy of that sort that has Khalid Sheikh Mohammed headed to the Big Apple for the jihadi grandstanding opportunity of a lifetime. Speaking of which, ...

Stop The ACLU —
... Posted on November 19, 2009 In a stunning display of the most idiotic policy decision ever , the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee says that we don’t really need to worry about interrogating Osama bin Laden if he ever is caught alive… because we apparently have all the information we need to know!
