I've no problem with using laser-guided bombs to take out bad guys. The initial strike could have been backed up by a larger group once the 101st got sucked in. If that were the case, a definitive message has been sent. If not, the initial bad guys are still dead.

In Vietnam, we used 500 pound Snake Eye bombs and napalm to do basically the same job. Proving yet again, that most dangerous thing on the field of battle is a squad leader with a radio. With the ability to rain Hell down on the opposition.

... a definitive message has been sentp> that's a good point - the psychological warfare aspect of it. If there were anyone else involved with the attack, they might be doing some heavy duty introspection right now. So what initially stuck me as overkill could very well have greater impact than eliminating two terrorists - and that is inspiring others to take an early retirement.
