Lately, there has been some discussion in the news media concerning the killing of Osama bin Laden. This resurgence in interest springs from the fact that some of the military personnel involved in the operation that took his life have "gone public". It seems they are reacting against the fact that certain political officials have taken undue credit for killing bin Laden and say they are coming forward now to set the record straight.
This has reminded me that several years ago (in the 90's) the CIA or the military had found bin Laden somewhere (Africa?) and "had him in their sights". The president at that time would not give authorization to kill him. So, the "Where Do You Stand" question is this: Should the United States government have killed Osama bin Laden when they had the chance? Why or why not?
I will post the answer that my Catholic faith leads me to believe tomorrow. In the meantime, please respond and do your best to defend where you stand.
