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 amount to 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 C-SPAN.
"For one thing, capturing Osama bin Laden — we've had enough on him, we don't need to interrogate him," Leahy added.
