I wonder if they would have preferred to take him alive for a nice trial and execution or if the order was to kill on sight? No doubt they'll be many more hoping to fill his shoes.
I think the hassle of a trial and the idea of 100 networks covering that guy with Eric Holder wanting to have it in Manhattan........ we were way better of spending the 25 cents on a bullet.

No doubt but I expect the true cost to the USA is significantly more than the single bullet that finished him, we should always remember those who gave their lives in the search for him. I hope the 'celebration' is refrained.

I have heard that it was a order to kill and only kill OBL and recover the body. SEAL teams did the job. They shot the fucker right in the head.

# Capturing him and brining him properly to trial would have been better, the US would have kept the moral high ground totally, you are now open to accusations (not that I agree with them, he set himself up as a military leader and has met the death of a military leader) that the US State-Sponsors murder. There's going to be a spate of revenge attacks, and the nut-jobs now have a new martyr to worship. To be fair they did try to capture him, but he resisted, but that's not how it'll play out in the media in the East.

I read they buried it at sea. Sounds odd since the world would expect a lot of proof.

I believe I heard that the number of American soldiers killed or injured in the last 10 years as a result of the war on terror was near 47,000. That number apparently didn't include soldiers from other nations. I believe I heard this from MSNBC last night, but I'm not sure I remember that correctly.
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

The body has already been buried at sea. They are hoping Al-Qaeda will atten the funeral.

Our "moral high ground" was so high that the pig-sucking creep could have been slowly choked to death on feces without us losing it.
Never mind who, where is John Galt when we need him?

A Dead ringer for Kate Winslett[^]High moral ground is fine in a civil case, this man and the people in his organization don't deserve the civil rights and processes we give criminals in our country. As for due process, he already confessed, so what good is it to have himm and a bunch of high paid lawyers calling for side bar discussions with a hand wrining judge?

Kinda hard to turn an ocean into a memorial sight. All the little Islamists won't be able to pray to their new saint.

Way more than 25 cents overall, I just look at it as 25 cents worth of punctuation to the story.

Because a highly public trial will bring out his attacks on fellow Muslims, which would deal a huge amount damage his reputation here. Not only that his US victims would become "real people" rather than "the enemy" in the minds of at least some of those who think that way. The propaganda potential was huge.

And you can make that judgement? Where do you draw the line? Terrorists? People suspected of terrorism? People who disagree with your way of life? People who demonstrate? I've lived with terrorism all my life thanks to the [erstwhile largely US-funded] IRA, and I'd want any of them and the Islamist terrorists who followed, brought to trial in preference to outright killing. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy you got him, it would have just played better in the rest of the world if he'd been captured and brought to trial.

Agreed, don't get me wrong. But in large parts of the world it won't play that way, and that's the war you need to win IMO. Actually capturing him would have been a huge coup and I think it could have been manipulated to the US's advantage more.
