Fred Thompson today on what should happen to Osama Bin Laden. Quote: Fred Thompson said today in South Carolina that Osama bin Laden should be granted "due process."Speaking to reporters in Greenville, Thompson said the leader of Al Qaeda "needs to be located and killed."But, according to the AP, the former senator said such a punishment shoudn't be immediately meted out.''No, no, no, we've got due process to go through'' depending on the circumstances, he said. ''I'm not suggesting those things happen simultaneously."
Ugh. Even the Clinton administration now says they didn't try to give Osama due process; they claim they tried to assassinate him several times. Which is what most think we should do. One hopes this is simply Fred slipping up on the campaign trail, and not a fundamental misunderstanding of what needs to be basic principle of this war on terror.
