Osama was essentially stateless, he was no longer a Saudi Citizen and he wasn't a Pakistani citizen either. He selfishly ensured his own well being and choose to live by his own rules, so why should any set of rules of fairness be applied to him?

Sitting in a compound well within Pakistan meant he could be well away from the action and misery that he helped to create.

The conspiracy theories will grow and the actual details of how this all came to pass will never be fully known.

Without celebrating the death of any human being, I reckon the ends justified the means in dealing with him in the way that they (the US) did.

I will most probably cop a pasting for the above, but my belief is that he had it coming and that that the fight that he was picking was ultimately going to be his undoing.

"Osama dumped in the ocean?Did they forget what happened with Megatron"....

or more importantly what happened to little Gizmo in Gremlins

it is heartening to see people use their scepticism to question things (exceptions given to die hard dollards the like of pweedas, ginger pomp & co)

The problem is with the term "conspiracy theorist". It is used so loosely but in an all encompassing manner, to the extent where anyone who is sceptical of what is thrown at us by the mainstream media is labelled a conspiracy theorist.

So... you're saying you'd prefer pweeda's "conspiracy idiot" then?

Does anyone else think it strange and sickening... that someone has been deliberately killed and the world's leaders are applauding?

Without a fair trial, without a chance to speak...

We're all just a bunch of savages at heart

very "Old Testament" an eye for an eye
he didnt make a lot of friends in the west, considering his work on 911
I try and look at it like he was a casualty of war

I find all this hard to believe.
I find there is little evidence to say he is dead.

I find all those USA'ers in there "our sh!t don't stink" society as bad as the terrorists themselves. To see them shouting cheering and carrying on about the death of someone who has never been brought to trial over the atrocities mildly disturbing to say the least.

It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.
Voltaire

Went to a coffee shop today and had a Osama Bin Latte

White fluffy head with 2 shots in it

Not really sure how I feel about it all but what were the alternatives?

If they had caught him and put him on trial I suspect that he would have been tried somewhere where he would have fried anyway.

No doubt he's a martyr to some, but the longer and more drawn out his trial and sentance would have been would only have got him more support with fanatics. To me the "freedom fighter" living in a cushy mansion and shot dead in his pj's is a better result than him getting executed later.

They should've just flown a f***ing jumbo into his house, called it an accident and never mentioned that he lived there. At least then we wouldn't have to listen to more conspiracy sh1te*.

I read the other questions and agreed with them. I haven't repeated any of the quotes that have already been repeated.

Please can you indicate any of my statements above that indicate that I think assassination was the right thing to do....

I love your idiotic definition of skepticism that is based on broadly following what you think....

Felix...d...cat, you missed two major points

it now appears we are to get thousands of Indians

to fix the mining shortfall, and we are building them an ,

anfo plant in south australia where they will make explosives

Could this be "Custers last stand" allover agen ???? Scary..

One group of terrorists killed the leader of another group of terrorists, business as usual tomorrow.

Bit harsh!! America, a terrorist country, MAN!

The US isn't exactly blameless. There wasn't much stopping American troops (and private contractors like haliburton) from killing random iraqis, except for American public opinion... which was ambivalent if it meant something to oil prices or house prices.

OBL's death can't be compared to his victims either.

A Going to work on 911 and being killed at your desk by a jet place crashing into your office (unless you were evil because you worked in financial services or unless you believe it was the us government)

B Being killed by armed forces after claiming to have caused the death of civilians. And not as collateral damage, but because you regard them as guilty because of their association with their governments eg 7th July bombings - OBL said that because the UK people re-elected labour then they were to blame for the bombings and therefore deserved it....


The US is pretty bad to be honest but I'm trying to think of a large country (>50m people) that doesn't have a pretty poor record ... any suggestions?

It would have been better if OBL had been taken and tried, but under what law and in what country. That said, shooting an unarmed man to avoid having the complexity of a trial is a pretty poor justification. There would have been an opportunity to find the moral high ground.

That said, at least he died quickly and relatively humanely. A lot of the food we eat would die slower...

My sister works for a charity in London that deals with victims of torture and a lot of their former patients are now employed by the charity. I've met a few of them. There would have been a much easier opportunity to take the moral high ground, while the US was trying to find him. Less extraordinary rendition, less outsourcing of torture to Egypt... Guatanamo bay was a much stronger example of where the US could have been stronger morally. For every person in an orange boiler suit, there was a small shift towards radicalisation of islam - and inevitably this small shift would have taken people over the edge into direct action.
