Wait, from my understanding he was given the opportunity to be taken into custody, but refused. That left them with little choice as I see it.
Perhaps you thought I meant he should just be killed in any event, and that's not my stand. My point was that the outcome was probably financially and otherwise easiest on the American people. Had he chose to give himself up, I agree that we had the responsibility to award him the rights that he chose not to award those he killed.
So I think moraly we actually agree. I'm just stating that his decision not to be taken alive was just fine with me.
