Obama: Bin Laden Must Not Be a Martyr
Wednesday, June 18, 2008
Barack Obama says if Osama bin Laden were captured on his watch, he'd
want to ensure he doesn't become a martyr if he were prosecuted. Obama
said he's not sure that the terrorist mastermind would be captured
alive.
But if he were, Obama said he would want to bring him to justice "in a
way that allows the entire world to understand the murderous acts that
he's engaged in and not to make him into a martyr."
Obama was asked about how he would handle bin Laden at a news
conference Wednesday after he met with a new team of national security
advisers. The meeting came after rival John McCain's campaign
criticized Obama for a having a pre-9-11 mind-set for promoting trial
of terrorists.
