We got lucky and caught OBL with his pants down. So what's the protocol? We've taken other top guys into custody. But shoot the top banana? Stupid.

I don't care whether he was in the nude and clearly unarmed or strapped up with explosives and carrying a pistol in each hand, none of our guys were killed in the raid and that's all that matters. Bin Laden has killed enough Americans, better to not give him another chance.

"...... better to not give him another chance."

Safe bet, once in custody that would NEVER happen.

What is nutty is the automatic assumption if captured, OBL would have been mirandized. He'd have been subjected to the mother of all interrogation, then held at Gitmo until he rotted. Instead, now the Muzzies have their martyr.
