on capturing osama

I offer some info to ponder;

From the article:

However, an unnamed told the Dawn newspaper that mastermind of the most devastating attack on US soil "might have been killed by one of his own guards in line with his will to avert his capture".

"From the scene of the gun battle it doesn't look like he could have been killed at point blank range from such a close angle, while offering resistance," said the official who visited the scene of the assault soon after the departure of the US team from the compound in Thanda Choa or Bilal Town, a stone’s throw from the Pakistan Military Academy."

The point being, the fact is, he was NOT going to be taken alive. He made that decision. When someone wants to die, there is little you can do to stop them.
