Osama's Assassination

So Osama bin Laden's kids are accusing the US of breaking international law? Boy, that's the pot calling the kettle black, ain't it?
Well, not really. Omar's argument is sound. And he has repeatedly and vehemently repudiated the use of violence in the past -- specifically repudiating his father's use of religious violence -- so his position isn't self-serving and seems consistent with his beliefs.
He has a decent point that his dad should have been tried in an international court. I'm buying it.

I think he's right -- I would have much preferred it if Osama had his butt thrown in the Hague and a real trial taken place.
There are a lot of good arguments for the existence of an International Court to try war criminals. And I do wish that the US would buy into it. As for right now, we have no decent way to try war criminals in the US because of the stupid way the Bush administration treated terrorists -- and non-terrorists -- at Guantanamo and torture facilities around the world.
Tyrants tremble at the thought that one day they might be brought before a true international court of justice. We should support one.
