GENEVA – The U.N.'s top human rights official says the global body wants details on the death of Osama bin Laden.

U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay says the raid on the al-Qaida leader's hideaway in Pakistan "was a complex operation, and it would be helpful if we knew the precise facts surrounding his killing."

Pillay has frequently stressed the importance of respecting international law during counter-terror operations

This could get interesting. The WH thugs better get their stories straight if the UN wants the true skinny on what happened.

The big deal is the hypocrisy of the LEFT, they used the media to destroy George W. Bush’s credibility by claiming that he authorized torture and called it a war crime against the geneva convention....

but their boy goes and authorizes assasination of the leader of Al Qaeda even though he was unarmed and many were taken alive from the compound. Assasination is a war crime against the geneva convention....

They can’t have it both ways....

The U. S. public would kick that institution so far off U. S. soil, we’d need a JPL explorer craft to do a fly by to get a status report.

PLEASE!!!

It's well past time for that action.

A real president would’ve ripped his head off, shellacked it, and used it as a doorstop.

amen!

just once I’d love to see an American leader say what we all feel when this BS is hurled at us...

hey UN nazis...F U and the third world horse you rode in on.

May God continue to bless America.

Thank you all those in uniform. SEALs make even barry’s bigger half proud to be an American.

From your lips to God’s ear, and I’m not being sacrilegious at all. I mean it in the most honorable way.

Is there any doubt that Obama would through the Navy Seals under the buss for killing him instead of capturing him?

I think not...

Oops, did it again. ...for Osama? That’s twice today.

Don't feel badly, Rush must have done it five or six times in the 30 minutes or so I listened to him today. He finally said he was going to just start saying "bin Laden", instead. ;o)

Let's not forget the likes of John O. Brennan (BO’s Deputy National Security Advisor for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism) calling our brave and heroic Navy Seals “assualters”. The MSM picked it up and were freely using the term at the White House briefing today. IDIOTS! Will the UNHR group insist on putting them on trial next?

Oops…Obama forgot to get one of those United Nations Permission Slips before killing Osama. Looks like he’ll have to go on trial at The Hague! Or, perhaps we should tell the UN and the rest of the “Crypto-Commies to put their “everyone deserves their Miranda Rights” bull poop where the Sun doesn’t shine (including John “We should close Gitmo” McCain).

"...Pillay says the raid on the al-Qaida leader's hideaway in Pakistan "was a complex operation, and it would be helpful if we knew the precise facts surrounding his killing."

In other words, "Tell us all your secrets so we can be sure to warn all the other terrorists out there." LIKE HELL!

Obama wants to be the Secretary General of the UN. The next opening comes this year in November. The “rotation” shows the next SecGen should come from North America. This investigation could mess up his plans

The U.N. Secretary General cannot come from a nation with a seat on the Security Council, and of course the United States, and Britain, both do.

Naturally, the terrorists show complete respect for international law and human rights while murdering infants.
