OBL

Somewhat cynical about this whole affair, although I am not usually a conspiracy theorist. But we will probably never know exactly what happened throughout the last decade. I hope Bin Laden is dead, although the public scenes of rejoicing are probably a bad move as regards the moral high ground (understandable, however). I am, I fear, a somewhat bloodthirsty person, as there are many individuals in this world in whose demise I would frankly rejoice and it's only the thought of a decent CSI unit which stops me from giving some of them a helping shove into the abyss.

Anyway. I would have preferred to have seen BL tried, as the potential for martyrdom is thereby somewhat reduced. I would like to hope that this episode has given the West pause for thought about exactly which monsters it chooses to support, but no one is naive enough to think that this will happen.
