    It's also nice to know you you are comfortable harboring mass murderers. Nice ethics.
    If you are American, don't take my criticism of that particular aspect of that operation personal.
    As far as Osama is concerned, all I (and probably most of us) know about him comes from mainstream media, where he was pictured as the most evil archenemy of humanity. I tend to distrust media. I know politicians feed on such things, they can go on and on about defending the country and do some very stupid things in the name of it.
    So I would rather see Osama extracted by the Pakistani, then extradited (after presenting formal evidence), and then having a trial in the US. Now, tell me, does US justice system state that you can kill a suspect on the spot (if you can take him alive), just because he is presumed to be very evil? Maybe you can legally torture him as well, cause he is so evil?
    I said I wouldn't give any permission to Americans for that raid, cause why would I deprive myself of the glory of capturing the most wanted man? Same thing happens when FBI and local police compete to make an arrest. Only here it is much more serious. If Pakistani gov weren't asked for permission then they should be very much offended. It's like the US gov doesn't know where US border ends. This doesn't help the image of USA in Arab world and for that reason alone, the Pakistani should have made the arrest.
    Finally, I remember a very good scene from the TV series Criminal Minds: a captured terrorist asked FBI agent: "who in your opinion is the biggest enemy of USA?". The FBI agent replied: "Ignorance".
    Not personal at all.

    1. Distrust the media all you want. Don't distrust what the man himself said or wrote. Read the various letters/manifestos he distributed where he justifies targeting civilians (among other things)
    2. The idea the Pakistanis didn't know EXACTLY where he was just isn't credible. He was within a mile of their equivalent of West Point for God's sake. They had YEARS to bring him in and didn't.
    3. In the US one can ABSOLUTELY legally kill a suspect if they resist arrest or threaten a cop. And Yes, I'm fine with that.
    4. First off the Pakistani's aren't Arabs and secondly this is WAR, not some police situation. Ignoring borders kind of comes with the territory wouldn't you say?
    5. Forgive me if I find that in one post you claim to distrust the media and then find wisdom in a TV show more than a little ironic.
