If he was cuffed & shot that would be a different story.
He was not cuffed & anything could have happened.
He was an enemy combatant. clo

‘Enemy combatant’ shall mean an individual who was part of or supporting Taliban or al Qaeda forces, or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners.

This includes any person who has committed belligerent act or has directly supported hostilities in aid of enemy combat forces.”

"Killing a captive who poses no immediate threat is a crime under military law as well as all other law," he told the BBC World Service."

I think we need a straight talk and explanation of what happened. We are a country of laws, not assassins.

This will not go away unless there is an accounting.

We're all glad he's dead, but we have a country here not a circus! We're on a slippery slope.
