im wondering if the US will actually give a shit about the UN's request. My guess is that the US will quote national security as an excuse to not provide this information, further deepening the worry that the world has on the US's holier than though attitude

UN expert asks US to disclose raid details | News.com.au
THE UN's independent investigator on extrajudicial killings has called on the US to reveal more details of the raid on Osama bin Laden's Pakistan hideaway to allow experts to assess the legality of his killing.
South African law professor Christof Heyns said in a statement today that Washington "should disclose the supporting facts to allow an assessment in terms of international human rights law standards".
Heyns says "it will be particularly important to know if the planning of the mission allowed an effort to capture Bin Laden".
His statement echoed similar appeals from other UN officials, human rights groups and the International Committee of the Red Cross.
US officials say the raid is legal under US and international law.
