Osama Bin Laden is dead

[Callaway]

I'm in two minds about this.

On one hand , I am glad he's dead , he did deserve to die plus it may weaken Al Quaida temporarily.

On the other , they shouldn't have killed him straight away , I mean they could have interrogated the guy and found out more about the Al Quaida operations THEN execute him if they must.

Idk I just thnk there was information to be obtained from his capture rather than the gratification of his death. 

That's what my husband said, too.

I believe the orders were bring him in alive if possible.  The fact was that he resisted and there was a shoot out.  Better to have killed him while getting an opportunity
than risk him loose another ten years.  I wonder what will happen to the 25 million bounty that was on his head?  will that go to whoever fired the shot?

True , but I can't shake the feeling that someone was a tad trigger happy.

Also,  i read that his father was very wealthy, and i don't know how many wives he had but Osama
was
17 th  child  out of 52

now that is some feat...to sire 52 children


the mind boggles at family outings

Actually, it would have been much more of a 'trophy' if he had been
captured.   He could have been taken back to america and faced trial.
Executing him in public would have been much more rewarding for the
relatives of his victims.

I haven't had my TV on today, so have to ask if there were any pics of
the corpse, or the burial at sea.  If i were a relative i would really want to
see some evidence.

He could be posting on you tube next week..how do we know it was the
right man?

oh, i noticed it says fake on it, but the same one was on a bbc link

Really don't think America was after getting Osama alive. What then.. was the question they had, I think.

The big worry was, wouldn't that make him a martyr even more so.. being alive and in prison somewhere. Keeping him imprisoned somewhere
awaiting a trial wasn't an option. How to link Osama directly with 9/11 in said trial would also be very hard, I reckon.

Those options (amongst others) would most probably increase the hatred against the West of them radical religious morons even worse so.

Aim was, to get him.. dead or.. yeah, dead, I think. Throwing his body in the ocean was also an attempt to not make a bigger martyr of the fuck (to those who followed him). 
No place to worship him too when there no grave at all.
