If the situation was reversed Bill, if major wanted fugitive from Pakistan was hiding in New York, or Philadelphia, or Boston, or Redneckville, and troops from the Pakistani special forces flew in in a helicopter, murdered him, flew off with his body and dropped it in the sea (or even worse, if he fought back and they dropped a 2,000-lb bomb on his premises, destroying surrounding premises and killing many innocent people - which was apparently the plan if ObL had decided to fight back), would your view still be that 'the rules are suspended' in such cases, and that it was all perfectly acceptable?

Or would you be squealing like a stuck pig about 'Homeland security' and 'violation of borders', and spouting off about acts of war?

I think we all know the answer to that one (although I doubt you'd admit it).
