A Show of American Strength--Finally. Sort Of. If You Think "Mirandizing" a Jihadi Terrorist Is Being "Strong"

In an effort to compensate for its recent wimpishness (Benghazi, Syria) the U.S. rousted itself long enough to go get some foreign jihadis. Reports are that one raid--one designed to waylay an Al Shabaab bigwig--failed. The other, in Libya, succeeded, and the jihadi thought to be behind the 1998 bombings of two American embassies in Africa is being shipped stateside for a trial.

Yes, a trial.

Gee, I hope they remembered to read him his "rights" first.

Update: Daniel Greenfield poses some interesting questions:
Going after Anas Al Liby was a good thing, though it certainly took a while which could make one suspicious about the timing, but the Benghazi killers have been walking the streets without fear. Why not go after them? Or do we have to wait another 15 years for that?
