You can't complain about OBL not getting a trial unless you protested about Admiral Yamamoto . . .

not getting one.

The fact that most of us weren't alive in 1943 is a mere technicality.

1. Admiral Yamamoto was an active combatant in a raging world

war and was the commander of the Japanese Navy. The American planes ambushed him as his plane approached an Island in the Pacific. I see no similarities in the legal issues about Bin Laden.

2. That is the longest reach I've ever seen on DU

:silly:

3. He had plenty of time to turn himself in and face a trial, he chose not to then resisted capture

I will not shed any tears for him.

Plus he was an active combatant against the US in a war.

4. EPIC FAIL for fallacy of false equivalence. Welcome to my Ignore list - n/t

5. Yamamoto was not considered a war criminal.

6. DUers want Obama to be more like FDR.

Well there you go...
