Tough call though since some intel for this op came from detainee interrogations, so I guess taking prisoners is a good thing.

Oh tater, even us that think detainees should have due process, we all know Laden is evil and guilty and enjoy the news of his death. It's when you keep unknowns without a trial it's an issue.
I would've had no problem keeping him in a prision for viewing if we could've gotten him, been good for the world to see. Course it would offend me that he would get better healthcare than millions of americans, so glad he's dead.
