The symoblism of a trial may have been something, especially if the hearing was in NYC. Would have cost hundreds of millions of dollars which is a drop in the bucket at this point, I'm just saying. Who knows, maybe they captured him, waterboarded his ass and then executed him right there.:knock:
Prove it in court. He wasn't even indicted for 9/11. He received a quick death and is more likely to become a martyr for the jihadists. If he had rotted in prison we'd see him die of old age behind bars. Some jihadist that is, wanting a Muslim empire but end up sitting in a very, very tiny cell.

Hadn't he said it himself in one of those tapes and hadn't it been confirmed by others who have been caught like KSM?
I just read that one of his co-conspirators told US officials at there cuba base that if he was captured/killed that they had hidden a nuclear device in europe! also, apparently he has just been buried, at sea :$
The biggest trial of the 20th century. I would have loved to see osama in court while the prosecution butchers his ass.
That doesn't prove it and he has also denied it...KSM was tortured, so he is unreliable. There are plenty of people who tries to take credibility for murdering someone, and him being behind 9/11 (which I believe he was, but perhaps not alone) gives credibility for AQ.
it really doesnt matter that you personally think he deserved a trial, kaleid. sorry, but you arent informed enough (none of us are) to presume to know anything concrete about this situation. the only people who do have top secret clearance and work with federal intelligence agencies. these people determined it was him and his cronies responsible, and thats volumes enough legal justification to authorize putting a bullet in his head despite moral objections. im sure they entertained the prospect of sending him to trail and realized that 1) he would simply be put to death amidst a retarded public spectacle that would simply serve to motivate more terrorist suicide bull****, and 2) he wouldnt even make it to trial in the first place because the guards would get to him before then. so basically arguing about it in principle is fine, but really moot... also - unrelated - that photo going around is obviously a shoop, simple 2 min hack job/blur filter, not even the right skin tone
IMG REMOVED DISTASTEFUL LOL, this is funny, people are actually trying to say Obama did this...what crap.
Before ***** leadership were executed they faced trials and the nazis were a much more deadly foe than AQ can ever hope to become. These days that trial part is skipped more and more. I don't like this "development", we can't just assume that someone is guilty and be judge, jury and executioner. If USA had a case against him, it should follow that Osama would at the very least have been indicted, we've been told over and over again that the evidence was overwhelming. So a trial should have been easy... But this is the same world which was sold the WMD myth in Iraq. And seriously, how many jihadists wants to get captured, be in long trials and sit in cells? It's humiliating. "even make it to trial in the first place because the guards would get to him before then" doubt it. They would have known that he was a high profile person and getting him would get guards court martialed . Osama would have gotten the Manning treatment. Without clothes, checked often etc.
atleast here they would of noticed their fuu* up and bleeped or made the news reader correct themselves EPIC NEWS FAIL lol oh and bye bye osama :biggun:
An FDNY firefighter rejoices as news of Osama bin Laden’s death scrolls across the Times Square news ticker. Blast from the past:
Just a few days ago there was a news item about a concealed nuclear weapon in Europe that would be detonated if Osama is killed or captured. The timing of that news item is a little bit worrying..
And who put him in power in the first place and supplied him with all the money. Terrorism is a tool used by the super powers and will never stop
I'm not too worried about this. At best they could make dirty bombs, but not nukes. It took North Korea very very long to make their bomb, and it's a country, AQ doesn't even have that.
Hows about you all watch Loose Change ( http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7866929448192753501# ) and then come back and tell me if you think Osama committed the 9/11 acts. You people are clueless, just because the news says something you all believe it to be true without any evidence. But as usual every one of you will dismiss the video and say "get your tin foil hat out" without even looking at it. Why dont you take an hour and a half out of your life and learn something. Heres a question, this is a pic just after the "plane crash" on the pentagon on 9/11, now wheres the plane?
