Lyle, if you were responding to your post above, you would present the definition of the word murderer as your reason. Admit that that is how you roll.
So yes, he is a murderer because he MURDERED.
killed, executed, took the life of, .....
Pure factual definition Lyle.

Yeah that word does not fit due to the connotations that it A) was "unlawful" and B ) doesn't take note of the fact that Bin Laden was at war with the United States.
I mean I wouldn't say "Mussolini was murdered" I would use "assassinated" the result might be the same, but the meaning of the words are different. I wouldn't say "Muammar al-Gaddafi was murdered" I'd say "assassinated". I wouldn't say "Alfred Jodl was murdered" and I wouldn't say "Alfred Jodl was assassinated" I'd say "executed". All those people died, but murdered?
But hey, maybe you don't think that the definitions of words matter and that's fine. I disagree, but hey you can take or leave that too.

Lyle, being tied up by a rope to a tree and beaten to death with baseball bats is certainly a murder.
Lyle, please don't think for a minute that I won't readily admit to at times using red herring and/or straw man tactics. Im just as guilty as anyone else. We all have done it many times.
Training is going okay but I am still too fat because I love to eat too much. I wish you would post some of the recipes that you used to post on that thread about food and drink

Yeah if it happened to an average citizen it would be murder...it's an assassination because it was a POLITICAL figure.
Like Biggie & Tupac were murdered JFK & MLK were assassinated. The MLK story, kinda sorta iffy all things considered (FBI/CIA :-\)
