RE: What Do We Really Know About Osama bin Laden’s Death?

[Paul Nightingale]

In Britain Corbyn has recently said something similar. Predictably, he was condemned by all right-thinking people, ie Cameron (who openly lied in his conference speech) and the media (who let him get away with it).

You mean like Gaddafi? "We came, we saw, he died"?

Osama Bin Laden should have been tried in a court of law.

This is what civilized nations do. The Israelis didn't shoot Eichmann on the spot. And for good reason.

Besides, it would have been more effective from a counterterrorism POV:

"By choosing to execute the al-Qaida leader the US has denied justice to the victims of 9/11 and perpetuated the 'war on terror'"
