[LINK] bin Laden is dead

[Frank O'Connor]

You've never heard of 'conspiracy' obviously. It's where multiple 
parties get together to commit crimes.

He ran and funded AQ ... he was the CEO if you like ... and AQ has 
numerous atrocities to its credit. But of course, given your respect 
for the legalities, everyone knows that a CEO isn't responsible or 
accountable for anything.

He accepted responsibility for NY, Kenya and the other civilian 
bombing atrocities of the late 90's and early Noughties ... on 
multiple occasions. (I have no problem with declaring war and going 
after military targets ... those roadside bombs for example are 
pretty damn effective ... but draw the line at the killing of 
civilians.)

He applauded the indiscriminate bombing efforts of the numerous AQ 
sister organisations during the Noughties - in Bali, Spain and a host 
of other locations.

By his own admission he's as guilty as hell ... but I'm guessing 
that's not enough to satisfy the Holburn Burden of Proof.

Yup ... he should have been allowed to kill thousands more civilians 
with gay abandon and then peacefully turn himself in at one of the 
local police stations for his day in court. That seems to me to be 
the most reasonable response to OBL ... I mean going out after him 
with a small self contained team purposely designed to limit 
collateral damage was a huge over-reaction. What were the Americans 
thinking?
