Awesome post politicophile! This would make a great POLI SCI exam question: reminds me a bit of game theory.
There are so many directions you can go with this -
1. "Ends justifies the means" - implication: getting "rid" of Osama or Robertson would be a benefit to society, one way or another. Through clandestine actions, the US or presumably other Western power can minimize compromising their ideals without having to go through a "legal" process that can drag for years (think Bosnia, Saddam).
2. "By the Book" - if someone is deemed a threat or enemy of the state, then the US must follow proper procedure to bring that person to justice - otherwise, the US would be hypocritical, especially when calling out other countries' on similar actions.
Ok, I'm still recovering from surgery so the drugs are making e a bit groggy. I can't think of anymore to add, but hopefully you all understand what I'm saying.
Thanks....
