re: #279 Obdicut

I’m not in any position to give him a deal. I think the whole ‘cutting people deals to get after the bigger people’ tends to be endlessly reductive, as well. I’m in no way a law enforcement professional, so my basic instinct on this is uninformed, but it seems to me that just charging people for the crimes they commit would be more effective than constantly cutting deals with people and granting them immunity.

My only point is asking was the feds are trying to soften him up with some kind of deal, what the deal is no one is saying. If they had decided to consider him an enemy combatant, they wouldn’t have put themselves behind the 8-ball like this and they could continue to ask him questions as long as they liked without worrying about a civilian trial.
