"If it were certain that bin Laden had been shot like a fish in a barrel, it's still highly unlikely that there would be much protest about it in the U.S. But given that we're trying the 9/11 planners in Guantanamo for gross breaches of the laws of war, and that they will presumably be executed once convicted, it's worth taking a moment to investigate war crimes. And who we think should be punished for committing them."
Worth a read at the very least. The columnist makes some interesting points/observations about whether Bin Laden was armed or not and that apparently he was actually a prisoner at the compound and thus "not a threat". Hmmm...
