999, I agree 100%. I don't think we would have ever gotten permission. I think the Pakistani government, at least those not in bed with Al Qeda, are glad, although they can't really say so. We went in, killed him, then got the hell out. If we'd had him stand trial, he'd wind up dead too, but there would have been a whole lot of stuff in between, possibly including more deaths and things going "boom". And terrorist killings of innocents of another country are NOT simple crimes.
