Usama bin Laden will never be captured alive, Attorney General Eric Holder told lawmakers on Tuesday.
"The possibility of capturing him alive is infinitesimal," Holder said. "He will be killed by us, or he will be killed by his own people so that he is not captured by us. We know that. ... The possibility simply does not exist."

My Comment: The comment that the Attorney General made which caught my eye was the following one ....
Trying to explain the analogy, Holder said mass murderers like Manson still reserve the right to go before a jury and have the charges against them proved beyond a reasonable doubt.
Holder was asked whether that means Usama bin Laden, if captured, would be tried in a civilian court and afforded the same rights as Charles Manson.
"In some ways I think they're comparable people, in some ways," Holder said.
Rep. John Culberson, R-Tex., called that response "incredible."
Rep. John Culberson, R-Tex. is right .... such a response from an Attorney General is incredible .... but what is even more incredible is that the President of The United States chose Eric Holder to be Attorney General for the simple reason that he agrees with his legal/judicial philosophy.
