Oh please... give us all a break. There are plenty of video tapes with OBL threatening death and destruction to Americans and others. This whole business of making OBL out to be some sort of victim in all of this mess is really getting old.

How then would you have handled this situation?
Thanks for asking.
I would have taken him alive (assuming he was still alive).
I would have taken him alive, announced that the FBI's most wanted man is in custody and then shown images of his arrest. I would then ensure that the man had a far trial, collected evidence and then used his evidence as a means of conducting similar raids to find out who his associates were (whether they be America, Saudi or otherwise).
Sadly, I think the US government just wanted to silence him, as he probably had several cans of worms ready to be opened..
A fair trial would ensure that the reputation of my Government would not be tarnished at the expense of appeasing a hooting, baying mob of mouth breathers.

That wasn't what was said.
"9/11 was an act of war"
To which I replied "Which country declared war"?
