Was the Hit on Bin Laden Illegal?

[Growler]

So assume, for the sake of argument, that global opinion turns and decides that the killing of Bin Laden was indeed a crime.

Now what?

I'm not sure we should say, "Now what?" Perhaps we should say, "What about it?"

Perhaps nothing. I don't think anyone is considering anything happening, this is just an interesting (to some) intellectual discussion.

It certainly looks to be a assassination. That's because it was. However, it was not with wreckless accord(I'm sure Tribesman will beg to differ) . The call to do this action was intiated 9/11. But again, the deed is done so what about it?

How Osama's human rights were violated? Screw that noise, and ---- legalties. If you don't like my opinion, then don't read it.

----ing hippies.

Thanks for posting in my thread.
Like Platapus said:
If you don't like the topic matter, don't post in it.
Simple really.

Well there is the mindless speculation, conjecture, opinion and finger pointing which must be carried out by the arm chair quarterbacks. All under the auspice of 'intellectual discussion' apparently us lower forms just are incapable of comprehending. With their intelligence and evidence gathered from internet media sources and no dead body to show for it either. I just can't wait to hear the difinitive answer from these mental giants to the original question! This has been going on for 8 pages now lets hear the answer to the 64 dollar question. Was it illegal or not? <drum roll>

This is the best post in the entire thread.

The only fallout would be problems in getting future agreements.

The call to do this action was intiated 9/11.

Oh dear, such a short memory you have AVG.

Don't put the cheerleaders down like that, they can't really help it.

There is not a definitive answer, that is the point.
