-- -- another book about the -- in the on the raid that took out Osama bin Laden.

This one claims President Obama wanted to put the terrorist leader on trial if he'd been captured alive.

The president told the Finnish author mark -- quote.

My belief was if we get captured that I would be in a pretty strong position politically.

Here -- argue that displaying due process and rule of law would be our best weapon against al-Qaeda.

Kimberlite and it's a lawyer in the house what do you -- -- isn't.

That is dissented inappropriate.

Use of the line hiding behind it that's towering towering in a little -- now.

And they -- and it's I think you can you -- -- there and can -- Tampa and -- to come over to New York City to get to some Big -- seen many years and it's going to be fantastic and he delivers and -- little baby to Eric Holder who doesn't know what to do with any kind of ran out there except a child can help her get out -- -- I ask you about the substance is that America.

And collegial process is one of our jewels if he really does -- to no matter how terribly alive we're not gonna treat you like you and and it would just don't go there and adding to -- appropriately to American citizens that are accused of crimes -- bounty that deserve a right to -- -- -- that can be tried here on US Morton has parents that I don't if you.

-- and you commit a crime in New York City you go to an American court.

Terrorist.

But why -- -- -- -- -- be I need to be arguing that terrorists are not citizens of any country yeah therefore they do not deserve due process of any way shape or form.

Foreign due process or American citizen due process.

And also this is irrelevant.

And that his decision was to kill him yet to -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- gotten.

The the economic but -- they decided to kill him there's an -- and on the drone attack things.

They're not bringing them here they're not cap that's that's not analyze it not -- and I do it they're not trying to find out -- -- the information collegiate to things like and protecting our ambassador in Libya.

-- -- -- -- -- -- This low -- but anyway it's better if -- had been captured alive what would you have been.

I was stuck -- again now right or you want to capsule that's -- enemy combatants and terrorists belong lion not here on a guided tour of the unite all my hair -- adrenaline it's an inappropriate way to handle.

This kind of thing active Terry gets United States you don't bring him in -- and coddle them in federal court and battle not the way it a week coddle criminals there now and -- I don't think -- but I don't think I.

-- -- -- to ever turn to gain has made a really good point for once.

Odd that it it is no it it is ironic.

That like the most peace loving liberal -- liberals and progressives always talked about how they're anti war.

They can't put people -- try to putting people on trial.

They kill them because of that because it -- did not politically viable politically endangered -- -- just give back.

They do is -- and that that the best is the Nobel Peace Prize winner yet hasn't kill list.

Yeah yes first well -- by the -- I'm not against god and I.

Let you guys -- -- might not be totally irrelevant because something that was uncovered the other day -- there.

Looks like there's a plan for the administration to -- -- prison Thomson prison.

Two the state of Illinois -- to have that in Illinois militant wing Aaron that question -- -- an open question of whether or not their plan all along in a second term would bring to bring these terrorists to Thomson.

In Illinois which was something President Bush said okay not getting any did -- -- -- had grant and -- that congress pass a bipartisan bill thank you are not allowed any funds US funds to help get this US that this Thomson OK okay though trying.

All right so let me do all that quickly she's -- Mitt Romney is going off the BMI Virginia military is it likely to give a foreign policy speech.

My favorite strategist doctor -- felt what should Mitt Romney say hi ya gonna be tired of -- -- Yes but.

He's got to say what I hate the President Obama assumed that the video was at fault for the attack -- source that's so far that is a little less I.

And it's most important question all you get this is the cable TV it's -- you -- is that the debate that's the big question big part of pop.

So how was -- resonate convey our by the mob it's -- I admit ground realities on -- like it did last night where his instincts where to talk about the constitution and the founding principles and and -- like that haven't aren't really I was a good an American exceptional is on.

Is what he -- talk about don't look for me she posted did I have.

And that's you know I -- reportedly be.
