Congratulations. You debunked my post from two days ago when the facts were still coming out and several sources had claimed he was armed and fighting back, now proven to be false. Bra-vo.
SOC (Dept. of Offense) had Bin Laden surrounded.
Article does not say that, passive-aggressive little nickname.
Why didn't they bring him in alive as the U.S. Marshals (Dept. of Justice) do?
Because they're soldiers, not cops. They think he's a threat, he goes down. This was a counter-terrorist op, not a SWAT team storming a hostage situation.
"Bringing him to justice" means just that, in a Court of Law. Not a mafia style hit squad.
Emotive language.
Bin Laden was never officially charged with 9/11 by the DoJ or FBI, only by the Press and Presidents.
Due to the "proof" the FBI says they have being classified. You can't honestly convict a man on info you can't reveal in court. That's actually evidence
against the conspiracy, since it would've been easy to cook up a little more evidence that they could declassify. Or just link the terrorists directly to Afghanistan and Iraq, then plant a WMD or two in Baghdad.
He was a suspect of other crimes, and should have been brought in alive to face charges, and serve a life sentence. In the 1980's the CIA funded BIn Laden against the Russians in Afghanistan.
Yes, and they also funded Saddam. Look how that went.
He walks with a cane. Anyone could catch him.
Unrelated correlation between the two points.
White House confirms Bin Laden was UNARMED, so there was no excuse for killing him. What "threatening gestures" did unarmed Bin Laden make, flipping the bird?
Good question. Maybe one of the soldiers made a little judgement call, I dunno. Wouldn't blame 'im for losing a certain amount of objectivity.
Why quickly hide the body to "sleep wid da fishes"?
His home country didn't want him, he's not going to be buried on American soil, and calling around to find a country that would take him would be a waste of time, and a sea burial is allowed in Islamic law when the body is at risk of being disturbed. It's called showing respect to the enemies of the US, something Truthers seem to have trouble comprehending. I suspect it's because their egos are often such that they lack the empathy to comprehend that people can justifiably have different opinions than them on things.
He could not be allowed to testify or plead not guilty to 9/11.
He's had nine+ years to plead his innocence, yet he stopped doing that a while ago, the same way he did with the 1998 Embassy bombing.
