Yes, but you can say the same about "Bomber" Harris and "Hap" Arnold for example. They also killed a great many innocent people but they did it in a context of pure military reasoning. "Total" wars tend to kill large numbers of people, and rarely make a serious distinction between civilian and combatant.
OBL simply doesn´t fit here. He was a terrorist who was legitimally put down by the state he offended.
