General Washington himself established the doctrine in the
Revolutionary Army that, unlike the British and their German
hirelings, the Revolutionary Army would not execute or torture
prisoners. This policy became a significant advantage as word spread
that surrendered Brits and Hessians could become Americans and build a
new life in the new world.


EUREKA! *That's it, there's the answer - the US should just offer bin
Laden "American" citizenship and maybe a hack license or a nice little
bodega in a lively Manhattan neighborhood or a 10k gold jewelry cart in
a busy mall or something and he'll forget all about that "DEATH TO
INFIDELS!!" shtick...

So I guess you are also against our current policy of safe haven and
paying "sons of Iraq" fighters to come over to the Iraqi govt side?
Its one of the few things per war fighting policy that most Ds and Rs
agree on.
