151. +1. Exactly.

It is about us. Our national soul.

It's not about whether Osama was a "good guy" or a "bad guy". It's about what we do and who we are in response.

He killed 3,000 people. Does that mean we become torturers and executioners because when someone is really, really bad all bets are off?

Arguing that we should be consistent in our national values (habeas corpus, right to trial, etc.) does not equal becoming a bin Laden cheerleader and implying that it does is a really despicable rhetorical move.
