Did Dershowitz get this upset after Ruby Ridge? How about Waco?

No? I didn’t think so.

Dershowitz gets in touch with his inner defense lawyer. Dershowitz is at least pro-Israeli. How does he feel about Israeli targeted assinations? Or is that the point, he’s using this example to justify Israeli actions. (With which, btw, I am totally kewl.)

I don’t recall this Dershbag complaining about the terrorists killing our citizens without due process.

Honest to God, I am so sick of anti-American assholes...

This seems to be the typical mindset of a defense attorney. No matter what their client did, his rights trump everything, including justice.

Justice came to Osama Ben Laden. Deal with it Dershbag!

How Osama Bin Laden was stopped is unimportant. He was stopped. It was even fair to blow up his end of town killing everybody if need be, or maybe just that end of the Himalayas ~ whatever was required.

This man intended to murder over 50,000 people working at the WTC, another 50,000 working in DC on Capitol Hill, at the Pentagon and elsewhere.

If we can finally hang the Anthrax Attack on him, his target consisted of MILLIONS OF PEOPLE.

He was a mad dog killer. No rational person can possibly look at it any other way without their also being a potential mad dog killer who ought to be taken down as soon as possible.

Sadly we await Mr. Pearls comments. Anti-Americans we don’t need.

I'm not convinced these guys are part of humanity.

Remember Saddam Hussein's gang. They had more than one instance where we bombed a military installation that fell down around the people there killing everyone EXCEPT some of the leaders.

One noteworthy fellow had been busted up so bad he wasn't hooked up to his stuff anymore but he was alive, and on the way out of the building he tried to crawl off his stretcher!

Saddam himself was found living, comfortably, in a hole in the ground. Yet, when he was hanged, the locals involved in the job thought it necessary to REMOVE HIS HEAD.

They knew he was somehow "different". I do hope burial at sea, hopefully at one of the closest trenches, will serve to grind this POS into elemental nothingness.

We have men sitting in Leavenworth prison for killing unarmed combatants.

The Leavenworth Ten

Seal Team Six prolly should join them.

OR

We need to let them go.

Uhhh.... It’s a war.

And that man was a war criminal still actively engaged in crimes.

Ask Alan if he suddenly found himself with a gun in his hand with Hitler in a room in the middle of WWII, would he have thought it wrong to shoot him?

If no, he’s a hypocrit.
If yes, he’s so incredibly stupid I can’t waste anymore time on him.

Not true.
Seal Team Six does not exist, so how could it have been there to kill anyone?

HYPOCRITS.........NOT!!! Usama Bin Laden declared war on the USA many years ago and is responsible for thousands of dead Americans. Whether he is killed by a rocket, a drone or a Seals weapon makes do difference. War is war and Dershowitz should get over it. One would love to see Dershowitz’ reaction should a Israeli commando unit take out Achmandinajad.

We didn’t shoot a man in cold blood.

We put down a rabid dog.

I think you misread his article. It's mainly about the double-standard applied here versus similar operations by Israel.

He summarizes his article with: On balance, targeted killing, when used prudently against proper military targets, can be an effective, lawful, and moral tool in the war against terrorism.

(I believe the double-standard is more because Obama is a Democrat than having anything to do with Israel.)

The idiocy of the we-killed-an-unarmed-man argument is the fact that if the only chance we had of getting OBL was with a missile from a drone predator, we would have done so in an instant...even if that would have meant collateral damage.
