Omar bin Laden's Statement
 
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...googlenews_wsj

WASHINGTON—A son of Osama bin Laden released a letter Tuesday accusing the U.S. of violating international law in the military operation that killed the al Qaeda leader.

Osama bin Laden's son complained Tuesday that his father was summarily executed, deprived of a fair trial and denied a family burial.
The son, who has previously denounced his father's murderous ways, said President Obama was no better than the notorious terrorist.

I completely see where he is coming from and, from the perspective he is coming from, I agree with him.

And on a petty level, I love his hurrrrrr and overall look.

Don't care for his statement, but yeah, his hair rocks. I want to take tweezers to his uni though.

I usually keep my political views to myself.

But, too effing bad. Where was the trial for the people who died on 9/11? They were executed without committing any crime. I'm sure their families wish they had a gravesite to visit. If bin Laden wanted a trial, he should have turned himself in.

Too effing bad.

This. I DO understand where this guy is coming from, I just really don't give a fuck, and it's not like we haven't killed terrorists in Pakistan before by drone attacks :).

We are technically not at war with Afghanistan, nor any other entity of which Osama is a part.

so because he's not affiliated with a state government, he's not an "enemy combatant?"

i see no problem with shooting him. things get pretty hairy when bullets start flying. i wouldn't have minded torturing the shit out of him, though.

Yeah it's his dad, but...

Can I have his hair?

Basically, we make up the rules about these things as we go along. The Geneva Convention may or may not agree.

I agree. Governments always have and always will do that.
