Germain is becoming increasingly clear that the operation was a planned assassination , violating basic standards in multiple ways of international law. Do not make any attempt to apprehend the unarmed victim, which presumably 80 commands could have achieved virtually no faced no opposition, except, say, of his wife , which was launched at them.

In societies that profess a respect for the law, the suspects were apprehended and led them to a fair trial. emphasize "suspects." In April 2002, FBI chief Robert Mueller told reporters that after more intensive research of the history, the FBI could only say that "believed" that the conspiracy was hatched in Afghanistan, but was implemented in the UAE and Germany. What I only believed In April 2002, obviously did not know eight months ago, when Washington spurned tempting offers from the Taliban (do not know how serious it is instantly dismissed) to extradite Bin Laden if they had any evidence, which, as we soon learned, Washington did not possess. Therefore Obama simply lied when he said in his White House statement, which "quickly learned that the 11-S attacks were carried out by al-Qaida."

Since then they have provided nothing serious. have talked a lot about the "confession" of bin Laden, but it sounds rather as if I confess that I won the Marathon Boston. Boasted something he considered a great achievement.

There is much discussion about Washington's anger because Pakistan will not hand over bin Laden, but certainly elements of the military and security forces were informed of their presence in Abbottabad. There is less of anger because the U.S. invaded Pakistani territory to carry out a political assassination. The anti-American fervor is already very strong in Pakistan, and these events probably exacerbated. The decision to throw the body into the sea and causes, predictably, anger and skepticism in much of the Muslim world.

might wonder how we would react if Iraqi commandos landed in the compound of George W. Bush, murdered him, and threw his body into the Atlantic. Undoubtedly his crimes far exceeded those of Bin Laden, and is not a "suspect" but arguably the one who "took the decisions," who gave the orders to commit the "supreme international crime differing only from other crimes war in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole "(to quote the Nuremberg Tribunal) in which they were hanged Nazi war criminals: the hundreds of thousands dead, millions of refugees, destroyed much the country, the bitter sectarian conflict that has now spread to the rest of the region.

There is more to say about [the terrorist who blew up a Cuban airliner, Orlando] Bosch, who just passed away peacefully in Florida, including reference to the "Bush doctrine" of societies that harbor terrorists are as guilty as the terrorists themselves and we must treat them accordingly. seems that nobody noticed that Bush was named to the U.S. invasion and destruction and the murder of his criminal president.

The same goes with the name: Operation Geronimo . Mentality Imperial is so ingrained in Western society as a whole, it seems that no one notices that they are glorifying Bin Laden to identify with the courageous resistance against the genocidal invaders. baptize our weapons is as murderous as the victims of our crimes: Apache, Tomahawk ... It is as if the Luftwaffe fighters called their "Jewish" and "Gypsy."

There is much more to say, but even the most obvious and elementary facts should give us food for thought.

Noam Chomsky is professor emeritus in the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy at MIT. He has authored numerous political works. His latest books are a new edition of Power and Terror, The Essential Chomsky (edited by Anthony Arnove), a collection of his writings on politics and on language from the fifties to the present crisis in Gaza with Ilan Pappe, and Hopes and Prospects also available in audio.
