According to US statements, Osama bin Laden was in fact NOT armed during the Seal team 6 raid earlier this week. This particular article states the was with his wives, resisted arrest, and was subsequently shot and killed. Though, as any article, has the potential to be biased, we can not completely discredit this account, though the truth probably lies somewhere between the popular views currently being espoused on US television.
Furthermore, while governments such as the Taliban are not convinced that bin Laden is in fact dead, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights is beginning a fact finding mission of sorts to see if the United States violated international law. Though Eric Holder, the current US attorney general is vehemently defending the United States actions, it is safe to say that the international community as a whole is not thrilled with bin Laden not receiving a trial.
The fact that the UN, in my opinion, is getting involved is just another piece of evidence that justice was not served, rather revenge was taken.
Just for some healthy perspective on Osama bin Laden and the United States reaction to it, here is a list of the Top 10 Most Evil Humans. I am not advocating in any way that what bin Laden did to the United States of America is okay, I am only advocating that bin Laden deserved true judgement and justice to be served on the international stage.
