Why wouldn’t they capture OBL and water board him prior to executing hi. (secretly)?
Seems like a waste of an intelligence asset.
Richard Miniter pointed out that they captured a lot of al-Qaeda documents in the raid that killed OBL, which could have been used to track down and kill key figures in al-Qaeda before they learned that OBL was dead. But Obama was in such a hurry to go on TV and brag about his big accomplishment that they threw away a golden opportunity to do massive damage to al-Qaeda.
I think we will find out that Obama either didn’t know about the raid until it was on its way or ordered him taken alive.
