McCain: bin Laden could face Nuremberg-like justice

(CNN) — Sen. John McCain on Friday said that as president he would consider bringing Osama bin Laden to justice through a Nuremberg-like international trial.

He told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer: “We have various options. The Nuremberg Trials are certainly an example of the kind of tribunal that we could move forward with. I don’t think we’d have any difficulty in devising an international — internationally supported mechanism that would mete out justice. There’s no problem there.”

McCain said that it would be a “good thing to reveal to the world the enormity of this guy’s crimes, and his intentions, which are still there.”
When asked if as president he would move the U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee unequivocally stated, “Yes." Asked when, he said, "Right away.”

“I’ve been committed to that proposition for years,” he said.

McCain said he wouldn't discuss hypotheticals when asked whether he would support an Israeli attack on Iran, but did say: “I can tell you this: The United States of America is committed to making sure that there is never a second Holocaust. That will be what I do as president of the United States.”
