it's interesting as a jurisdiction question really, yes? and i suppose as a lingering problem brought about by the lack of clear definition of whether a "war on terror" or ghosts is really a military or police matter.
if a cop arrested bin laden say while he was bowling in cleveland for o i dunno something stupid of course he would be treated as anyone else who was arrested for something stupid while bowling.
if he was caught by a military operation, i suppose that would complicate things.
personally i would not be surprised if there's been no live bin laden for some time, but i don't know that so maybe there is one.
but if there is one, i doubt very seriously that he would not meet with some horrible fate well before the miranda question was raised.
because i think the last possible thing the united states needs or wants is a trial for osama bin laden. way too much in the way of embarrassing potentials. not worth the risk to the national security theater state.
