So the SEALs are a bunch of hitman thugs? Really?! You almost sound like this was Abu Ghraib part 2.

All they did was kill the guy that ordered 3,000 Americans to be killed in one day. Oh, and he'd kill the rest of us if he could too. We should have asked him politely if he'd like to come downstairs and be escorted off to the US, which would eventually execute him after trial anyway. If you were one of the SEALS, would you expect to be entering an extremely dangerous situation? Nah, he's just the world's most wanted criminal.
It's bothering me. It is un-American (you wouldn't understand) to kill an unarmed man. Especially in front of his wife and kids.
The Duke never would have done it.

So the computers, hard and flash drives taken from the mansion won't have the same or even more information?
A trial does not bring the immediate closure that a corpse does.
Maybe SEAL Team 6 is just a bunch of nervous trigger-happy pusillanimous. Yeah right.

I guess so, electric chair after decades is easier !
Are they brave heroes for shooting an unarmed old man?
Are they brave heroes for that firefight with a mailman?
Do brave heroes kill a man while his 12 year old daughter watches?
Why didn't they take him into custody?

Would you want him in US custody ?
Don't you think it would trigger a lot of terrorisum on American soil ?
Or even demostrations in the US, muslims against Americans ?
Why create all that turmoil, and pay for all the double and tripple security for years to come ?
Costing tax payers hundreds of thousands of dollars per day, for the next 10-20 years.
Be happy, what they did !

Wow. I think your dislike for Obama is clouding your judgement. I'm glad he's dead. And I'm glad we don't have to worry about where to imprison, try, interrogate, and execute the piece of turd. He earned his demise and the world knows that the hunt goes on and we are very, very good at it. Best of all, Pakistan now knows that they had better know what's going on within it's borders because we know and aren't always going to wait on them to take care of it.
I don't dance.
But that's who we are! Or who I thought we were.
We are The United States of America! We don't go around assassinating people. We bring them to justice. Especially when we have 40 well armed people right there.

The Duke was an actor. This wasn't "True Grit". This guy was the Hitler of the 21st century and the SEALS shouldn't have killed him? What's wrong with you? Killing him was bringing him to justice. Perhaps you should ask some of the people who jumped-off the buildings on 9-11 their opinion. Oh, that's right, you can't.
And those people are TRIED!!!! Which is exactly my point...
So 40 Seals couldn't have arrested him so we could try him?
Go back to your dancing in the streets.
This wasn't a law enforcement operation. Remember? "War footing"
