Американцы разочарованы  -  Закон попран! :Valid points raised. However, I'm not surprised that they shot him. OBL probably had a "will not surrender alive" attitude, and there was open fire from both sides. Getting OBL alive would have been very difficult and dangerous. I'd rather they bring our soldiers home alive than him. His sentence was signed a long time ago. Good riddance.Now, that's not to say that there are no other fishy aspects of this mission. Perhaps WikiLeaks will enlighten us one day._____________________Really? There was a TRIAL? I thought we were insisting on being a LAWFUL nation - that was the whole idea behind Guantanamo....and behind long-time-ago-criticism of methods Israelis used to bring in Nazis extracted from South America....but at least they were bring them to TRIALS. We just SHOT him on site....maybe his "sentence" - would have been signed....but this is reverting to methods used by terrorism as much as anything else. They also decide on the sentences for infidels. Without any trials.Along with anything else - I am quite bewildered by the apparent conduct as well as the way to present the news.....and - of course - the retaliation to follow....there will be hundreds springing in place of him. Hundreds, btw, possibly supported by US government...Hillary Clinton DID say that they are having hard time identifying who the Lybian "rebels" exactly are - but we are supporting them nevertheless - even though multiple reports of their connections to Al-Quada are surfacing.
