Which Bin Laden? Salem, Bush's business pal? Osama, his brother? Maybe the parents?? The various Bin Laden relatives who were whisked away at taxpayer's expense, on order of the Bush administration before the dust settled at 9-11?The fact remains that Congress is charged with the safety of the American citizenry and the ability to ensure that. They also are the part of checks and balances that will examine with a microscope whether or not Bushco acted in good faith or not when it came to what they reported to Congress that led to the declaration of war.The Congress must consider all things when weighing this situation. Paramount of which in these troubled times (the justification of the Executive Branch's pushing the limits of its authority- remember? ) is if the citizenry will be adversely affected when the World Court finds them guilty and their status becomes fugitive. Adding "harboring fugitives" to americans' already poor standing worldwide, in today's volitile times, most likely will provoke more assaults on americans. Prosecuting Bushco would most likely result in less, having shown the world that we are even players when it comes to handling terrorists of all nationalities and countries, including our own terrorists.To not prosecute them will be bad, bad, bad for national security. It is at Congress's discretion whether or not they will cooperate with World Courts. Let's hope they choose wisely.
