SEAL book raises questions about bin Laden's death

50. I have some answers for your questions.

How many lives do I think it's worth risking to have a sound judicial system? There is no limit. Once we do away with rule of law, all other functions of government are pure artifice.

Same goes for cost. There is no limit to cost that should ever be placed on justice.

Being on a jury? Sign me up. It's my role as a citizen to serve on a jury if called and available, as it is that of all other citizens. I suppose if, like you, you're happy to give up a judicial system for yourself and everyone else, you could give up that as well. Just don't ever expect to get a jury trial for yourself, because you don't think you - or anyone else - deserves it.

A media circus? The media could be kept out of the courtroom, for the most part. Besides, who gives a shit?

What if Bin Laden was found not guilty? Well, then I guess he wasn't guilty, and we would have wasted a hell of a lot of time, money, and energy on someone who wasn't worth it. However, it would also mean that an innocent man didn't get put to death. If you were to be accused of a crime, would you want the chance to be found not guilty? I can only assume you do not wish that for yourself, as you would take that right from another.
