CarolC. We obviously are so far apart in our views on this situation little is to be accomplished by our discussing it further. I just have one more question and would be most interested in your reply.

If Osma bin Laden were to be tried outside the United States by an Islamic Court, and the prosecutors presented evidence that showed irrefutably that he is guilty; would you be satisfied if the Court found him NOT guilty?

Since the crime was committed in the United States I realize it is mute point. If he is brought to trial I cannot imagine it would be anywhere other than here.

I think your answer might help me better understand your point of view though. Conversely, if you have a question for me, I'll be happy to reply.
