Michael Moore is right on this one. One thing that separates our country from other places is our fair system of justice. And, under that system, bin Laden deserved a trial.

When Hasselbeck said that bin Laden did not have the right to a fair trial, she was essentially saying that we will abandon our principles of fairness and justice for bin Laden. In other words, no need for bin Laden to destroy the American way of life - Hasselbeck is willing simply to surrender it.

Now of course, bin Laden was killed rather than getting a trial and no one should lose any sleep over that. Sometimes bank robbers are killed in the midst of the crime and don't get their trials, either. But Hasselbeck argued for vengeance rather than justice and in so doing she sold out our country's greatest ideals.
