This simple question, which anyone in the chain of command seeking to get Bid Laden, must have answered (or be literally brain dead), constitutes the key determinant as to whether our nation's national security Agencies will be fully empowered to win a WAR or be handcuffed by criminal lawyers defending mere criminal suspects.
Were Bin Laden to be apprehended and held as a prisoner of war, he will be interrogated in secret by CIA/FBI/military for as long as necessary to obtain actionable intelligence, real time disclosures on any ticking time bombs ready to explode in a major American city. Arrested and treated as a criminal suspect, Bin Laden must be given immediate access to a defense attorney. He will then refuse to speak to any government interrogators, thereby free to keep secret active plots that can then proceed to fruition, or even to fission (think dirty bomb).
Accordingly, this supposed red herring could kill many innocent Americans - one really mean fish after all. It may even be criminal for the A.G. not to see this fish's really sharp teeth, ready to bite off his smirking about nonsensical questions.
