Anyone we believe to be a terrorist, without a hearing or trial, we should just send over some army killers and take him out? Is this abiding with our constitution? Where is his day in court? Are we the worlds police? This is wrong.
i dont get it, did they kill him today like the president said or last week like the reporters said?
There is no joy here, but at least justice seems to have been served.
While it might be feeding the trolls, I agree with this man:
It is wrong to simply kill someone. Its taken 10 years to get to this point and at every turn he's shot at, evaded, blown up, etc. But it is still wrong to kill someone. I guarantee if those boys (seals I'm guessing) had the choice they know full well that they should have captured him alive. But they were taking no chances. Once they started to get shot at they took their shot I'm sure. Its a military action in war and he was a casualty.
It is also wrong to be jubilant about this death. It is not our business to go around shooting anyone we see fit. We should not treat this lightly, and to be jubilant is to encourage martyrhood, which is not a good thing. It would have been a far better outcome to capture him alive and put him on trial. At least with a jury of peers there is an opportunity to save any face we might have lost by having him die in such a fashion.

I don't know, but consider the following:
1. If he was killed last week, would it have been kept secret until now?
2. If Obama was choosing when to announce it, would he have chose 11:30 p.m. EDT on a Sunday night?
Seems like cause for joy to me.

It's not a question of would it be kept secret, more like if it could be kept secret. There's no way they could keep this wrapped up for long, especially with international involvement.
The president DID mention it.
Think CNN said the operation was ordered earlier today.
Man I'm confused... I keep hearing that the firefight happened today... then hearing that he died last week... what the hell happened??? Did he die today or last week????
24 was a painful caricature of itself at the end. I'm glad it was hunted down and killed, too.
LOL, saw this on Twitter: "Mansion that Osama bin Laden was hiding out in was built by the Bluth family."
Are you kidding me? The guy is a terrorist. Every additional day he is alive, he is planning more bad things. If you catch him, you put even more people in danger. Just end it.
Also, lol at college students in Boston. i was that dumb once....
He died May 1st, operation took place at 12 noon EDT on May 1st 2011 firefight lasted approximately 40 minutes.

Is it OK for you to kill the man who kills your son? It is not. Is it OK for you to steal the car of the person who stole your car? Absolutely not.
Just like its not OK for us to simply kill the man who is responsible for several thousand deaths. Let justice prevail - let a jury convict him and at least society says he should die. It is not our business to say "just kill him".
It is also wrong for all of you to be jubilant about it.
Calm yourself, you're getting all flustered.
link? Source?? would be greatly appreciated... all I know is Obama mentioned it happened today
