I...I have absolutely no doubt that they killed him. I have absolutely no doubt that it was a targeted assignation mission. I actually have very little moral quandary about a military operation that sets out to kill an identified target.<br /><br /><b>What I do</b> question is a) the attempt to pass it off as a standard ‘capture mission’, which b) deliberately obfuscates what it was: <b>assassination</b>. I understand the legal quandary of the political executive ordering such operations (which necessarily denies any chance of <i>habeas corpus</i>, let alone any kind of trial. Yet, I can’t muster anything but bemusement at the clumsy efforts give that the current President has already publically endorsed assassination of <b>US citizens</b> on foreign soil and has tiptoed around the issue of torture.Kris McCrackenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789355638389350528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2152399175276461352.post-44962013559390511952011-05-07T13:59:55.558+10:002011-05-07T13:59:55.558+10:00Until I see Osama hanging from a gibbet I am afrai...Until I see Osama hanging from a gibbet I am afraid I will entertain doubt.<br />Personally I believe he should have been held up as an example of what happens if you mess with the U.S.A.<br />Too graphic?
