    The “global war on terror” ended with a rather dramatic raid that killed bin laden.

    No, they executed an accused without a trial or prosecution. In India, they had a multiyear fair trial before the terrorist was executed. Difference between democracy and not a democracy.

      Binladen got what he deserved, and there was little chance that it was safe to capture him and transport him back to the US for trial.

        Or rather any trial would be unconstitutional as it would rely heavily on “evidence” gained by torture. To save itself the embarrassment, America did what it always does and kill with impunity.

        Well of course he got what he deserved. But they’re was no trial though. There was also no Trial for Kissinger, Bush. There won’t be one for Nethanyahu, Biden, Trump, etc too.
