Book claims Obama wanted a bin Laden trial

Editor's note:

It is CBS News policy not to reveal the identity of the author of "No Easy Day," one of the Navy SEALs who killed Osama bin Laden. CBS News will continue keep his name confidential for his own safety.

The Associated Press and other news organizations have named the author and on Wednesday night an AP story containing the author's real name was inadvertently published to CBSNews.com. Because the inclusion of his name does not reflect the standards and values of CBS News it has been taken down.

We regret the error.

Bin Laden did get a fair trial. The Seals tried a couple of bullets on his head. The bullets won.
Class dismissed.

Death was the easy way out for bin laden, just like hitler.

Justice for the American people, is thru the Court of Law.

probably fair trials with results such as OJ Simpson, Michael Jackson and
Casey Anthony's. Holder would screw it up.

That would have been a absolute calamity, of epic proportions, not to mention the Fort Knox, busting cost. Just imagine, of all the bearded, white pajama people, lugging WWII 250 lb'ers around in NYC. So! this is how Ameba brain, spends his Daze, in the Big White House. GO NAVY SQUEALS OH! I MEANT SEALS!

Funny how he wanted to capture OBL to showcase American Justice as a way to really deal a blow to al-Qaida but then assassinated a US Citizen without due process of the law.
