write this post although I do not usually issue in the international and taking care to notice that I rely on media reports and agencies, which need not be completely reliable. At the time of this writing, I do not know if Osama Bin Laden is dead. The most likely so, but still not known with certainty. I add that I never felt sympathy for this character, who refused at the time the attack on the Twin Towers in New York, which has caused so much prejudice, and I do not share anything with radical Islamist groups that move in the orbit Al Qaeda, which consider criminal, fanatical, anti-democratic and reactionary.
said, it is imperative to note that the action taken by U.S. special forces in Abbottabad bypasses all the rules of international law. Washington takes refuge in the "declaration of war" by former President George W. Against Bush the Al Qaeda organization, but that statement has nothing to do with the traditional uses of diplomacy. It's like declaring war to snuff, the mafia or hypertension. Declarations of war are made against a state, not against an entity that does not really know what it is.
On this basis, we now learn that Bin Laden was not armed, nor did he use a woman as a shield, it seems clear that he could not resist and could have been arrested and tried, as befits any offender. If you have committed crimes or been instigated, to be judged for it with the utmost severity, but with the assistance of a lawyer and in court. To the greatest criminals is entitled to a fair defense. Can not settle to a person based on reports, news or rumors. Needed evidence of his involvement in the crimes he is accused.
But also, the track was to identify the employee who drove to the location of the house where Bin Laden reportedly lived with some of his family, was achieved through the torture inflicted on a prisoner at the illegal Guantanamo Bay prison, the same as the president promised to dismantle Obama in his campaign. Torture, of course, known in USA as waterboarding and that our country is notorious as a "bathtub" and emphasis has been applied to suspected members of the underground organization ETA.
Above the corpse of Osama Bin Laden, who reportedly suffered two gunshot wounds, has not been released to their families for burial to the way they see fit, in this case the Muslim rite. By contrast, the remains are driven to a U.S. carrier and thrown into the sea, no trace of the murder.
All these circumstances are serious enough to cause outrage among those who believe in human rights and the rule of law. But also, the president of the United States, all Western leaders and to the Security Council of the UN, have praised the operation, saying that justice has been served and that the world is now safer. A Nobel Peace Prize says it produces nausea, Rodriguez Zapatero and Sarkozy will join the bandwagon, vomiting.
And what about U.S. citizens with their flags were thrown into the streets to celebrate the death of Bin Laden and others. Her attitude, her dancing on the grave, the shivers. Thankfully, a spokesman for the victims of 11-S has stated that it does not rejoice over the death of Bin Laden. It has been a drop of sanity in an ocean of infamy.
all knew that the U.S. special services have been involved in numerous illegal actions in different countries the world, bypassing international law at will. What important is that now, with its first black president, he is recognized in public and are proud of it. Steadily back to the Middle Ages.
PS: Could it be that preferred the cold-blooded execution, because in the trial of Bin Laden could shed some light on all his old relations with the CIA, the U.S. oil holding and some of the best families Republican? Faced with this very possibility, progressive thought that Obama will be inconvenient witnesses are better at the bottom of the sea.
