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

[David Morris]

Just watched Citzenfour. Snowden is a hero.

I don't care that OBL was "murdered" by the U.S sans legality. That kind of
PC thinking is partly why liberals are considered squishy on National
Defense. If your argument goes into "we did 9-11," then you've lost me
completely.  I know why that scenario is preposterous. That kind of
controlled demolition in an occupied building would be impossible to hide.
Impossible for occupants to ignore explosives next to columns in their
cubicles and offices.  That conspiracy requires ignorance of real details.
Please stop being that ignorant.
