Holder says bin Laden will not face U S trial
Attorney General Eric Holder told Congress that Osama bin Laden cannot be tried in the United States because he will not be captured alive. He compared bin Laden to Charles Manson and warned Miranda rights would come to the corpse, drawing GOP fire from Rep. Culberson. In Hartford, thieves raided an Eli Lilly warehouse stealing about 70 million in prescription drugs, loading them into a waiting vehicle during a rainstorm. Pope Benedict XVI will visit Scotland and England in September for four days, including a mass in Glasgow and the beatification of Cardinal Newman in Coventry.
