This is rich....
So when do we start taking bets on Obama being indicted for violating Osama's 'human rights'? The adult sons of Osama bin Laden have lashed out at President Obama over their father’s death, accusing the United States of violating its basic legal principles by killing an unarmed man, shooting his family members and disposing of his body in the sea.What could go wrong?
The statement said the family was asking why the leader of Al Qaeda “was not arrested and tried in a court of law so that truth is revealed to the people of the world.” Citing the trials of Saddam Hussein and Slobodan Milosevic, the statement questioned “the propriety of such assassination where not only international law has been blatantly violated,” but the principles of presumption of innocence and the right to a fair trial were ignored.
“We maintain that arbitrary killing is not a solution to political problems,” the statement said, adding that “justice must be seen to be done.”
The statement, prepared at the direction of Omar bin Laden, a son who had publicly denounced his father’s terrorism, was provided to The New York Times by Jean Sasson, an American author who helped the younger Bin Laden write a 2009 memoir, “Growing Up bin Laden.” A shorter, slightly different statement was posted on a jihadist Web site Tuesday.
We really live in bizarre times..... Yes, that's Bin Laden's son with the ponytail and the Calvin Klein shirt....

We live in an era in which outraged poseuring is confused with principle.
Omar Bin Laden and Tony Kushner would find a lot in common.
A fine example of the pot calling the kettle black.
Yep, the T-shirt - CK - a gay Jew. Not only that, but CK used to (still??) produce undies in Israel. Heh.
I think all the children of bin Laden should be executed.
