#1 I can understand the CIA wanting him, but why the FBI? Is this part of the new Intelligence reorganization? Or simply reporter error...

#2 I can understand the CIA wanting him, but why the FBI?

FBI holds the trademark rights to "Most Wanted", so they post the list and pay the reward. CIA handles overseas ops, after they suck his brains dry they'll hand him off to FBI and Justice to stand trial.

#3 I'd rather he's fed slowly to the sharks. No trial necessary

#4 Trials aren't going to be possible for these folks as they are being interrogated without benefit of counsel. He's simply not going to return, in my opinion.

#5 Under Clinton, the FBI handled the investigations into the African embassy bombings...perhaps the relevance of the FBI is residual jurisdiction issues.

#6 Probably leaned against the unsecured hatchway door half way to Deigo Garcia. "We have no idea, and as a matter of fact we don't ask such questions"

#7 What is the law with respect to illegal combatants? I believe that they can be subject to summary trial and execution when caught, but if you hold them as prisoners and interrogate them, does that still hold? I have no problem with immediately executing every terrorist caught, but holding someone in Gitmo, say, for several years and then saying "you're an illegal combatant" bang, kind of bothers Me a little. Not a lot, but a little.

#8 Don't get me wrong, but I always thought this guy had a future as a basketball player.

#9 I dunno jackal, I actually kinda like that sequence. If they are subject to summary trial and execution due to their deeds, then it can "summarily" take place after they've been pink pantied into giving up all the information they have.

#12 I can hear the radio conversation now...

Well sir, we had to ship them back to the US via the most secure and clandestine means due to threats on their lives from fellow terrorists. So to us, that meant put them on a submarine.

Yes Sir, we gave them the High Value Guest tour of the boat as directed - and thats where the problem was. There was a bit of an accident when we were at 800 ft depth doing 40 kts... the guests were inspecting the torpedo tubes and the Chief of the Boat started a firing drill, and well, sh*t just happened sir...
