OK, so I had the news on in the background today and heard that Osama bin Laden was shot while dressed in a bath robe, in his bedroom, with his grandchildren and a wife present. No weapon.
So, he was executed, a targeted assassination.
Now, I am not aware that the president of the United States has the authority to order an assassination. Bin Laden is a mass murderer. He murdered thousands of Americans. He declared war on the United States.
Was he given the opportunity to surrender? Did the Obama administration not want him alive? Did Obama want him dead?
Interesting moral dilemma.
Not as clear on day two as on day one.
