I think you've misunderstood my question as well. My question was if the mission was not about "surrender or die" but simply "Die!". I have the impression it was the latter.

Leon Panetta, the head of the CIA said almost a week ago in more than one interview that, “the authority here was to kill bin Laden. And obviously under the rules of engagement, if he in fact had thrown up his hands and surrendered and didn’t appear to represent any kind of threat then they were to capture him. But they had full authority to kill him.”

That was from his interview on PBS.

I don't know how much clearer it needs to be for some people, or where some of you get your news, but this is no longer an open question to anybody who reads or follows the news.

I can't wait for the day when we see some of the video footage taken where they get to Bin Laden, and he says something like "Allah Akbar!, Allah Akbar!" and a Navy SEAL goes "Sorry, I don't understand Arabic" and then, click-click-BANG!!! Right in the eye.

Case closed.

No military tribunal. No endless debate and stupid insight from neo-cons about what to do with him. No prolonged court case. And on and on and on.

Great thing they did by killing him; great thing. Imagine just one week after this what kind of fiasco would be going down in America with Trump and every other chickenhawk on the right acting all macho and stupid. I don't even want to think about that.

The guy's dead; awesome.
