US Fails to Bring Osama bin Laden to Justice

Media_httpiimgurcommi_fcavg

Shortly after taking office oin January 2005, US President Barack Obama ordered CIA director Leon Panetta to make the killing or capture of Osama bin Laden, leader of the Al-Qaeda terrorist network, the top priority of the US war against Al-Qaeda.

Last week, President Obama authorised an operation to "get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice," the President said in a speech on 1 May 2011. A small team of Americans carried out the operation, and after a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden.

Despite President Obama's assertion that "justice has been done," the operation failed to capture bin Laden and bring him to a court of law. Bin Laden was thus never tried or found guilty of the crimes he was accused of and took responsibility for.

When the two towers that make up the World Trade Center were built, they were designed to withstand the impact of the largest airliner of the day, the Boeing 707 Intercontinental. The Empire State Building survived a B-25 medium bomber crashing into it on very foggy day. It was during the weekend when most people weren't there, but still, 14 people died. Anyone wanna bet that the World Trade Center could survive an 767-300 impact?
