I think it's probably better to have him dead than alive because if he was captured alive we would all (especially the relatives of those killed on 9/11) have to go through the agony of seeing this criminal go through the process of a trial.
In my opinion he had his trial in that 40 minute raid and those seconds of finality when our guys took him down.
With this I would have to disagree, since it goes against everything this country is said to be. Now true enough, if he is shooting, (which was reported that he was), shoot to kill, that I can understand. But to put someone to death with out trial goes against everything we say we are. Innocent till proven guilty. And dont say we have him on film saying that yes he was responsible for 9/11 and so many other attacks. (I know he did, I watched that too), but how many criminals do we have that murdered someone, or mass murdered people here in the states, turn themselves in with a full confession, but still have a fair trial. What is fair for one man is fair for another, regardless of who they are.
But like I said, from how the reports go, our soldiers raided the place, there was a fire fight, Bin Laden was killed, seems to me like self defense.
Now to address what Movieman and Ironman are saying about the conspiracy theories. We have several times announced Bin Ladens Death, then say oh we didnt kill him. For all we know he was killed one of the previous times that we say he did die. I dont watch the news all to close, it is very depressing, but I do not ever remember Bin Laden say hahaha, you didnt kill me I am right here. Except for once, the first time the USA reported he was presumed dead. But the tape was proven that Bin Laden had that video pre-recorded, months before hand. So what are we really suppose to believe?
I truthfully believe we either killed him some time back, or he is still alive and being interrogated. That is where I stand on all of it.
No kid gloves here when not letting Pakistan know we were coming...no doubt in my mind they would have let him know. Good job guys!
I thought the news team said that the Pakistan forces helped? I am not 100% sure I read that.
