I also say that it is hilarious what debates are now being waged over the morality of killing Bin Laden and whether or not it is legitimate for a democracy to kill an enemy. Every Western government kills when the police hunts down a gangster and he starts to shoot at the police. But one of the worst gangster of the past two decade suddenly should represent the exception? Democracies have the right to kill their enemies in self-defence or prevention of these enemies committing such disastrous crimes like Al Quaeda did. It needs a truly decadent society to start a debate about the legality of this, really.

In this case barely, if you have two goals in front of you, you know that both do not hesitate to kill, they like it, who do you choose? Or would you go back, then you have two targets that are in your vicinity, therefore no soul defense situation, how would you act, plan and proceed with the slopes or you, for in both cases they are potent killers and do not care about you, you are only in their statistics, one in the crowd, of course, have to measure, but a debate like that in this case is ridiculous

So, you talked about a possible "debate" on the subject in question and I mentioned just one example, no big deal

I dont understand why they are changing details of the account of the raid, or why the feel compelled to change the story at all. If someone shot the raghead in his pajama's, then say so the first time around.

Latest news on BBC tv say his wife was initially shot in the leg to prevent her shielding him then he was shot once in the chest and once in the head (whilst unarmed).

With the 24/7 media channels now they have gone over the edge on trying to fill the void of time they have on air. Its sad really.
