Bin Laden: wanted dead or alive. With a $20,000,000 bounty!

Those fliers and posters had been displayed for years. Where the fuck was all the outrage then?

[NavyDem]

1. The outrage didn't come

Until Seal Team 5 took him out.

2. Bin Laden was not an American Citizen.

5. your lack of outrage and...

....extreme egotism, national superiority and sense of entitlement is mind boggling. You are ok with US citizens killing any non citizen who hasn't had a trial or a conviction?......good one :silly:

[trumad]

6. Yep

[madinmaryland]

7. I agree, tru. Just like the southerners in the Civil War and their sympathizers from the

border states, the douchebag who joined the war with Al Queda became fair game.

11. just one

8. So what? Due Process guarantees are not limited to citizens

One of the interesting things that comes out in these discussions is how many people's morals and views of rights are dependent on whether someone is a US citizen.

9. would you be alright with killing a Canadian citizen in the US, say in Kansas?

you must be, or you are a hypocrite and inconsistent.

3. I was outraged

But I was in the minority at the time. I was also calling for press coverage in Afghanistan, and people were calling me unpatriotic.

My, how things change...not!

4. Bin Laden was not born in the USA. If there is enough evidence

to take out a terrorist with a drone there should be enough evidence to try and convict them and let common law and justice prevail. It maybe naive but it seems to me to be the best way to preserve peace between nations.

10. And risk how many lives in the attempt?

One life of a decent person should not be put at risk for the sake of capturing someone who has crept into bed with AlQ...by their own admission none the less.

12. Reread my post. I think law and order should prevail over drone strikes.
