Flaming Liberal Patrick Leahy: No need to interrogate bin Laden

And here I thought California and Massachusetts were bad with their flaming liberal Senators, but Vermont takes the cake. As if Bernie Sanders isn’t bad enough, check out this gem from Patrick Leahy. According to The Hill, if the U.S. captured Osama bin Laden, there’s no need to interrogate him. And this is coming from the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Senator Patrick Leahy, the chairman of that committee, said that arguments raised by Republican senators about whether bin Laden would be afforded Miranda rights if he were captured amount to a “red herring.” So basically Leahy is turning Osama into politics.

“The red herring that my friend [Sen.] Lindsey Graham [R-S.C.] was covering is not realistic,” Leahy said during an appearance on “Washington Journal” on C-SPAN.

“For one thing, capturing Osama bin Laden — we’ve had enough on him, we don’t need to interrogate him,” Leahy added.
