On air on TV and radio: Has justice been done?
| 12:37 UK time, Friday, 6 May 2011
This topic was discussed on World Have Your Say on 6 May 2011. Listen to the programme.
Osama bin Laden wasn't armed when he was shot dead. The Archbishop of Canterbury says he's 'uncomfortable' with what happened, suggesting that it's hard for 'justice to be seen to be done' when someone is killed in such circumstances.
Do you agree?
Or did you just want Bin Laden dead however that was achieved? Is your answer affected by news that al Qaeda appears to have been planning further attacks on America.
President Obama justified not releasing photos of Bin Laden's body by saying 'it's not who we are'. I wonder what we have learned from this raid about what America is?
Also, if waterboarding produced information that led to the raid, do you think such methods have now been justified?
And, if America had doubts about the Pakistan intelligence agency, was it justified in failing to tell Pakistan before carrying out the raid?
One other thought: If President Bush had ordered this raid rather than President Obama, do you think he'd have received more criticism from the media?
Book your call early for the radio and the TV as the level of response to this story is astonishing.
