Well, now that Michael Moore has weighed in, we know what we’re supposed to think!

That does it for me! If Michael Moore is upset we went after Bin Laden, well then, we shouldn’t have. So now Michael has to be mad at his good liberal president. (sarcasm)

And Michael can now denounce Obama as a war criminal and all that, just as Bush was so denounced by the likes of Moore, Cindy Sheehan, Code Pink girls, etc.

It probably would have be useful to take him alive for waterboarding. I'm sure there's all kinds of useful information we could have gotten out of him. Unfortunately, by simply executing him, we missed that opportunity.

But Obama doesn't want to get his hands dirty imprisoning terrorists and interogating them. Much too politically incorrect. So he just has them killed them instead. Much less hastle. They can't sue for human rights violations if they are dead, after all.

That's why there have been so many more drone raids, and so many fewer terrorists captured since Bush left office.

IMHO, it is a strategic error whose long-term consequences will be felt many years from now.

Imagine if Bush had simply executed Kalid Sheik Mohammed instead of waterboarding him? We probably would never have gotten Osama.
