I was very struck also by Janet Napolitano’s comment, I hadn’t read it before to see her say that, that the number one priority is to bring him to justice is such a knee-jerk comment and such a stupid comment.George W. Bush in March, 2006:
George Bush vowed to capture Osama bin Laden and Taliban leader Mullah Muhammad Omar yesterday on his first visit to Afghanistan since the US-led invasion. "It's not a matter of if they are captured and brought to justice, it's when they are brought to justice."What a remarkably stupid fucking comment he made at that time, wouldn't you agree Billy?
Of course the big difference between the two is that Hasan is actually in custody.
