garrett let me ask you this, because we also heard in the briefing from mcmasters saying he says the president wants options, on u.s. justice system, options on terror suspects. what kind of options might be on the table? well, so i mean one of these is the question of whether he is officially declared an enemy combatant in which case he could be potentially sent to a military brig or gitmo or leave him in the criminal justice system and whether that ends up putting the death penalty on the table or taking it och tff the table. there are a number of different paths. but the problem is there is only one path that worked since 9/11 to deliver justice and that was civil ya civilian court system and that was true before and after 9/11. and the president relies ds
deepest regret and remorse, i do this because we always want to bring back someone no matter who he is. israelis gave up 1,000 terrorists for one corporal. they mourned it. but they did it. it is very important. and i said it at the time it is absolutely essential that when you bring him back, you try him. in other words he doesn t get a pass. you bring him back he s going to get a trial. he s going to get a trial. i m sure there was tremendous pressure from the white house on the military to sweep it under the rug, to give him a dishonorable discharge and not have a a court-martial. but now he is going to have to answer. and if he spends the rest of his life in the military brig, that s the way it ought to be. so i think we end up in the right place. we have to bring everybody home. i agree. i m totally in agreement with you on that. i think what the president did that was so faulty he did it
