Eric Holder: Osama bin Laden won't be brought in alive

Attorney General Eric Holder told a congressional panel Tuesday that
the question of reading Osama bin Laden his Miranda rights is absurd —
because he won’t be brought in alive.
“Let’s deal with reality,” Holder said. “You’re talking about a
hypothetical that will never occur. The reality is that we will be
reading Miranda rights to the corpse of Osama bin Laden. He will never
appear in an American courtroom. That’s the reality. ... He will be
killed by us, or he will be killed by his own people so he’s not
captured by us. We know that.”
Holder’s comments came during a hearing at which Holder and a
Republican congressman debated whether bin Laden and notorious killer
Charles Manson deserved the same legal rights.
