The only reason why we are even having this discussion about habeas corpus rights for bin Laden is because George Bush has been unable to kill or capture him, and if past is prologue, questioning what a McCain administration would do with bin Laden is an entirely academic question.
It's remarkable that they deflect attention from their failure to find bin Laden with false attacks on Barack Obama when after nearly seven years, they haven't even been able to find bin Laden themselves.
And it's galling that McCain's campaign is willing to invoke the Nazis in such an attack.
