Should Bin Laden have been taken alive?

When anyone starts to say he was unarmed and it was wrong I think about the innocents in the Twin Towers and on the tubes/bus in London - they were unarmed too.

You go around blowing people up then don't expect when justice comes calling that it's coming with a cup of tea and a blanket. If there was intel to be gained then yes he should have been taken alive if not then to me a double tap to the head was quicker and more humane than he deserved - period.

Honestly? I hope he didn't go out shooting... becuase the cunt does not deserve an ounce of valour.

Those were terrible events for sure, but we should have taken him in and laid the evidence out for all to see. We have never really put together the direct links saying that he caused 9-11 for instance. We are just led to believe that this was the case. He was a terrible piece of work, but two wrongs don't make a right. As I say, if we needed to execute him them it should have been done after he had been proven guilty.

I'm leaning in favor of taking him alive, but I understand why they didn't.

LOL.

Exactly, arrest him, take him to the Hague, and try him for crimes against humanity, if found guilty, then as they done to Saddam, hang him, or gas him in full public view, hell it would probably do more figures than Mayweather v Ortiz.
