Amnesty International Outraged Bin Laden Was Killed And Not Captured…
Amnesty would have preferred SEAL Team 6 offered Osama chocolate dipped strawberries and a warm bubble bath.
Amnesty International today asked the US and Pakistani authorities to clarify aspects of the operation in Abbottabad in which Osama bin Laden was killed.
The organization specifically requested information on the status and whereabouts of those who were with bin Laden and the circumstances of his killing.
“We are seeking information from the US and Pakistani authorities about how many people were in the compound at the time of the operation, what happened to them and specifically what is the status and current whereabouts of the survivors,” said Claudio Cordone, Senior Director at Amnesty International.
According to reports attributed to Pakistani intelligence officials, 18 people were in bin Laden’s compound at the time of the US attack.
US officials have said that five people were killed and two women were injured — one of whom was identified as bin Laden’s wife – and that at the end of the operation the injured women were left at the compound along with at least six children.
CIA Director Leon Panetta said on 3 May that US forces had full authority to kill Osama bin Laden but that they were to capture him if he had surrendered.
The White House has said that Osama Bin Laden was unarmed but resisted capture.
“Given that he was not armed, it is not clear how he resisted arrest and whether an attempt was made to capture him rather than kill him,” said Claudio Cordone.
“Amnesty International believes that US forces should have attempted to capture Osama bin Laden alive in order to bring him to trial if he was unarmed and posing no immediate threat.”

Does anyone care what they think? AI is bogus to begin with.
There are no trials in a war — you engage in combat with your enemy – OBL massacred thousands of Americans and the US stuck back. End of story. I certainly do not get this trial stuff?
Take it up with the Nobel PP winner.
Ha Ha Ha….I’d love to hear General George Patton’s take on this.
Since Obama directly ordered this attack and everything was done per his instructions, can he be charged as a war criminal?
Just askin’.
I heard Ollie North on Hannity yesterday say, and I agree, that this operation should have gone unannounced. No one would have known if obama didn’t make it into a media blitz circus. Back in the day these things were dealt with without any PR and only to be discovered many years later. Thinking about it, there were many dictators taken out in the 70s without any info other than they were dead. lol
Wisco Dave – if those on the left practice what they preach, then of course.
Just wait…..the left will make Bin Laden into an honorary Marxist.
@ Teacake:
Based on history it’s a done deal then! Probably do a press conference with Pelosi; she’ll condemn his ties to Big Oil and chastise him for the high gas prices…
This is socialism. Appearance always takes precedent over function.
Only proves once again, that AI is a useless organization full of stupid ass wankers. The only real orgs out there that are worth a listen to, about the state of people being oppressed around the world in other lands, are folks like Samaritan’s Purse or Open Doors International. AI…is just teets on a bull.
I notice these morons never complain to the muslims when they go on a beheading spree. i can only assume they are cowards of the worst kind
Did Amnesty International complain when Osama Bin Laden killed nearly 3,000 people on 9-11 instead of capturing them? Did Amnesty International complain when Osama Bin laden killed American sailors on the USS Cole without capturing them?
How many efforts did Amnesty International make to capture Osama Bin Laden?
They kind of remind you of really bad back seat drivers who if they don’t shut their silly mouths could end up causing an accident.
Armchair warriors right in the middle of the action. Be careful, that remote might be dangerous.
Osama chocolate dipped strawberries and a warm bubble bath.
Don’t forget his snugee. And have Maya Angelou read him some
poetry. Or Put on a Yusuf Islam (aka Cat Stevens) and give him a
masage.

I’m thinking Osama is too… Heh!
I disagree – I would love to have seen a public trial and Osama crapping himself as the Hangman’s Noose was placed around his neck – the whole scene dragged out and video’d for the Western World’s pleasure for years to come!!
I can imagine the huge brown stain in the rear of his dress and a big wet patch in the front!!
As much as Saddam was an Evil man, he was a Fearless Warrior in his final moments – taunting those about to kill him – which proved he was never a Gutless Muslim like Obama and Osama and the rest of their spineless death cult!
