The new American justice: Navy Seal team's mission was to kill bin Laden, not capture -- guilty or not, where was his trial?

The U.S. special forces team that hunted down Osama bin Laden was under orders to kill the al Qaeda mastermind, not capture him, a U.S. national security official told Reuters.

"This was a kill operation," the official said, making clear there was no desire to try to capture bin Laden alive in Pakistan. (Source)
