Saddam and the Nazis surrendered, bin Laden did not. The rules of engagement are clear, which also hold true for metro police actions, in that lethal force is authorized when the other party brandishes a weapon. If he had not had a weapon, if he had raised his hands instead of an AK then he would have faced trial but that is not how things went down.
- Khao 15y agoI cannot find any article that talks about how exactly did bin Laden resist. Do you have any link saying that bin Laden was armed?
- trafficlight 15y agoI would have to assume that bin Laden was always armed given the price on his head.
- chickenorshrimp 15y agoI believe the story I linked from the AP has the most info that's out now. The President still hasn't authorized releasing the photos of the body yet either, so there is still more info to come.
