I can understand that. Think of the Intel we could gather. Of course the reverse is true also. Any Intel they gave would take weeks to verify, if not months. As far as I'm concerned, I'm glad they're "deader than s**t".
I agree. Before it was fully confirmed that the two were dead, I heard on the news all sorts of discussions on who would try them, where, etc. Dead is better for these two, otherwise they could have lived, even in captivity, another 50 years before lawyers and civil liberties groups decided their fate. Yes, dead is better.
