But "remembering 9/11" every year doesn't dig up old wounds?

Thanks for the correction. Couldn't remember if he was a capture or kill.

Who deems who the bad guys are? The government? The same people that lie to you on a consistent basis? Also, what war? Only congress can declare war and the last time I checked, they haven't done so.
Listen, I'm all for offing the bad guy when necessary. In fact, I support the death penalty 100% when it can be proved without a shadow of doubt. Such as cases like this (as well as Bin Laden).

I have no problem with the Seal team taking him out, as I'm sure he didn't go down without a fight. That said, you don't ignore Constitutional (and International) rights just because you think he doesn't deserve it.
