WASHINGTON (March 16, 2010)—U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday terrorist leader Osama bin Laden will never face trial in the United States because he will never be captured alive.
Holder sternly rejected criticism from Republican lawmakers on a House Appropriations subcommittee, who contend it is too dangerous to put terrorism suspects on trial in federal civilian courts.
Texas Republican Rep. John Culberson said someone like bin Laden should not be entitled to the rights of an ordinary criminal defendant.
The attorney general fired back that bin-Laden will never appear in a U.S. court because he will not be taken alive.
Holder did not say whether he meant the al-Qaeda leader would fight to the death against U.S. or allied forces, or whether he would kill himself if surrounded.
