"Therefore, either they were armed and consequently shot, or they were not armed and offered no threat and were not shot."

I rather liked this bit of the above:

"or they were not armed and offered no threat"

I will give you an example of the idiocy of that remark. You pull a gun on me for whatever reason if you let me approach you, or you approach me with that drawn gun and get closer to me than 3 metres. I can guanrantee this, your gun is now of greater danger to you than it is to me - because I will shoot you with it.

My guess is that the US Navy SEAL Team members are trained in much the same way as our Special Forces. If they are covering anybody with any firearm they will not be allowed within 5 metres if they attempt to close that distance you shoot them.

By the way how come Osama bin Laden was shot in the face if he was fleeing? Nobody ever came back to me on that, it suggests he was fleeing towards the threat - does that not seem odd to anybody?

"Without wishing to sound terribly naive, one would presume - not unreasonably I think - that as and when the US has responded to the UN's request and the desired inquiry has taken place, that an update to the UN's request will be publicly posted on the same UN web page that the UN's request has been publicly posted."

Why what has it got to do with anyone other than them? Particularly if they have been told the information and the details are considered "Secret" or "Confidential" - Perhaps Mr Assange knows.
