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.
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/worl...al_qaeda_.html
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.

I am also appalled at President Obama's actions and believe he should be arrested and tried via the UN for war crimes........

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.

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