No the guy was a terrorist not a international leader. Ain't the first time the yanks have taken one out and won't be the last.

Complete bullshit. Even *if* the US were to fake such an event, do you not think they would have at least stages some kind of phoney raid, so that when the worlds media arrived to cover the story the governments story tied in with that of the locals?

It's called murder, and it's nauseating to watch people cheer it, even if the victim was a criminal.

Not as nauseating as seeing people get more worked up over the death of Bin Laden than the deaths of protestors in Syria etc

And of course no way near as nauseating as seeing absolutely zero justice for people like Bush and his cronies whose crimes have caused the deaths of at the very least a hundred thousand people and suffering to millions.

And another good reason for nausea is the way we don't seem to want to topple Bahrain's dictatorship where troops have been firing on protestors. (If you didn't know the US Navy's Fifth Fleet operates out of Bahrain)

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/may/09/osama-bin-laden-us-pakistan-deal

Looks like Pakistan's goverment are in deeper trouble after this...

I think a trial would have been almost impossible, frankly.  In fact, he'd probably get off if they tried him for the 9/11 attacks (witnesses?  Witnesses that aren't compromised by torture/bias!?)  His Wanted information on the FBI page had him down for the 1998 attacks, not the 2001 WTC attack because solid evidence was difficult to pin down. Unless Osama was willing to plead guilty, it would have been an absolute circus.  He and Al Queda have taken credit for the attack but put any of them in a courtroom and they'll plead not guilty for obvious reasons, or argue the terrorist cell were acting of their own volition and not under any direct orders. It would be a very long, drawn-out trial that would most likely end in compromise, which wouldn't go over well with anybody I should think.

It's most definitely an argument worth having though.  The Western world has supposedly built itself on institutions like democracy and justice and it's cases like this that we need to confront and question in order to protect those values.

 I wouldn't have had any problem executing him after a trial, but shooting him dead when unarmed and then making up a bunch of lies about how it went down before dumping him in the sea and witholding any proof of his death really isn't really the best to make people trust you. Then again they are a superpower and do what the fuck they want, and the media usefully brainwashes the sheep into believing they are they good guys.

It does make you think why they'd want to execute him in this fashion, afterall the Nazis were all tried - maybe rather unsavoury facts about his connections to various people could never be allowed to come to light - the Saudis, Pakistanis, Americans they all no doubt had their reasons for silencing the fucker.

 I'm not so sure it's fair to call it an execution as we don't have all the facts and it's likely the team that went in weren't going to take any chances. Osama would have had enough time to realize what was going on (I would think...) and they must have been prepared for any eventuality, like suicide vests etc. Hell, it could have come down to the individual soldier at that precise moment. Regardless, these situations can't be distinguished as starkly right or wrong, it's more like a grey fog!

And as I said, I don't believe a fair trial would have even been realistic in this situation. Look at how much trouble they've had attempting to try Guantanoma prisoners.  It's not parallel to the Nazi trials which was a traditional army/state; these guys don't operate in the same way are are not represented or recognized as a distinct national entity. Besides, the Germans' tendency to write everything down and have orderly, detailed accounts of everything worked against them in that case!

Surely the difficulty in bringing a case against him means it's difficult to establish that he was resposible for September 11th? If that's the case what are they really getting him for?
I'm sure there are other people who it would be hard to put on trial, should we make this the basis for their execution?

 All I can say is took them long enough to find him. What I don't understand is why it was on the front of the Sun that supporters are targeting Prince Harry over Bin Larden's death. The Bristish soliders didn't kill him did they? It was the American soliders.

His death is a definite blow to Al Qiedia but I`m not sure if it will make the world a safer place. This isn`t like the sucide of Hitler meaning the final end of the Nazis reign in mainland Europe Al Qiedia well just replace him with someone else and if anything will step up their campaign in revenge. There HQ has been inflitrated but he wasn`t running the whole organization. I can understand New Yorkers wanting to celebrate his death after what they`ve been through but no matter how evil someone is I couldn`t rejoice at their death. Then again I haven`t been affected by 9/11 and the death of a loved one as a result like they probably have.

Yes, somehow true. I accept you words that this is not the end. Yes, this is just the dawn and we need to finish all the terrorists. They are agitated now and will surely take some step to fight against Americans. Now we actually need to fasten our operations.

 Eh, what?

How do you propose to fasten your operations, invade somewhere else?

Bin Laden was an evil mofo, no doubt and in my opinion the world is a little better with him not in it. But to use his death as a justification for other means stikes me as part of the reason the US has got themselves into trouble with the Foreign affairs policy already.

 "Yes, this is just the dawn and we need to finish all the terrorists"

The more you kill the more there will be... the invasion of Iraq showed us that. Maybe if we could find a way to work alongside those in the middle east instead of going down the war option we can create more understanding between all parties and find a peaceful solution.

Or we could just blow the fuck out of anyone and everything until we win... cause that'll work out I'm sure

Look my friend, its absolutely impossible t kill all the terrorists. With agitation, more will grow up. The best way is to find a peaceful solution or else, it will never end. The good teachings will only help. It will take time, but work will be done.

 So anyone see the news the other day about the 31 US special forces killed when their helicopter got shot down in Afghan? Apparently 20 of them were part of the squad that "killed" Bin Laden.

So first we're told that Bin Laden was killed in a US raid on his compound, despite some claims he's been dead for years (if he even existed in the first place) and contrary to some eyewitnesses in the area who saw no raid at all. Then they quickly bury him at sea without providing a shred of evidence proving they had him in the first place, and the white house refuses to release photo's of his corpse (if there was one).

And now the troops who we're told were involved in his assassination are shot down by a simple Taliban rocket, despite instances of this kind of attack being extremely rare and the fact that US helicopters have anti missile capabilities and one carrying special forces would probably have had extra protection. All potential witnesses to the original raid and/or what really happened are nicely done away with.

Convenient eh?

 If Bin Laden wasn't killed at the compound why did Al Queda issue a release confirming it had happened?

Not all a of them, there were plenty of other eyewitnesses at the scene who have described the raid, as well as the other special forces involved who weren't part of the squad just killed in Afghanistan.
