Both are quite true.

I know a few americans personally, and they're attitudes ranged to all sides. But the US government seems intent on one side of the issue... And as a reaction that is perfectly OK (hell, if they killed thousands of my countrymen I don't think I'd be anywhere near reasonable) And as such terrorism is no way of dealing with "undue influence".
But legitimate or not, it is a reason.

And anything he says, comes out of the mouth of a terrorist. And how some of us might think "hey, there honesty in there", he is still a terrorist, and therefore deserves no negotiation.
Btw, for all things I think the US should've done different* , I do not fault them for trying to capture OBL.

*I can't say I'm knowledgeable enough to judge foreign-policy objectively, but you get my drift.
