Once people begin to ignore the Constitution, as many in this thread have, you have to wonder if or when ignoring the Constitution will end.

Bin Laden had a Constitutional right to a trial. Period.

Horsehockey!
Bin Laden wasn't an American, we are at war......it doesn't apply to him. How in the world could you validate him getting the benefit of our Constitution?
And by that rationale we could never kill anyone on the battlefield, we'd have to capture all of them and put them on trial.
