On the other hand perhaps he was just a dribbling spastic. :confused:

I’m sure international law isn’t as simple as “basically a soldier killed in battle”.

So…….Great the Americans have executed an unarmed man in his bedroom in front of his family basically something we would expect from the likes of Hamas not from a democratic first world country.

What has it realistically achieved?

You realise it wasn't me who called you that, yes?

Either way, in line with your thought provoking comments yesterday, I have reported you for using that vile word.

I don’t think anyone on here would disagree with you on that, but if you think that is the issue then you are truly missing the point.

I'm not sure if that sits on solid ground but even if it does, let's face it, that's not primarily why he was killed. He was killed for reasons of 1) vengeance, 2) So skeletons would remain in closets, at least as far as mainstream reporting goes and 3) So there weren't a raft of hostages taken around the world to try and force his release.

It might be used as a fig-leaf, with varying degrees of success, but IMO it's extremely difficult to buy.
