IIRC UBL had wives and family in the US on 9/11, we let them all fly out of the country a few days after the attack. We aren't the kind of country to hold children accountable for the actions of the father, even if as in one of UBL sons cases he admitted to being in AQ training camps, interestingly enough they are stuck in Iran now and apparently would like to return to America. I'd guess Obama wouldn't want to touch that with a 10 foot pole, but we will see.

Out here in Cali there was a big stink about electing Arnold governor, since his dad was a member of the Nazi party in Austria during WW2.

Our policy is in contrast to the Romans an empire who held their enemies families as hostages whenever possible. either way, interesting times...
