So I wake up this morning to the news that Osama Bin Laden is dead and his body has been disposed of at sea. I also see a lot of US citizens on the news cheering about the fact a man is dead. Personally I would find it hard to be happy about the death of anyone; no matter what atrocities he/she had committed. A life is a life.

But personal feelings aside, am I the only person who thinks the death of this man is a waste? Surely the intelligence he could have provided alive would have saved many more lives in the years to come. By allowing him to be murdered; yes I use the 'M' word as I believe no one has the right to act as judge, jury and executioner as the US have done, they have created exactly what the Jihadist movement needed the most, a martyr, a focal point for other potential militants to rally towards. I believe that instead he should have faced trial, publicly, to be judged by a committee of international representatives.

Of course now the conspiracy theories will start; he is still living, he was killed to be silenced etc etc. I actually partly believe the second, I believe he was in possession of information the US government would not want to be made public; could it be regarding the 'aeroplane strike' on the pentagon? Or the CIA's involvement in Muslim states?

One thing I am sure about is that we will now never know the truth.
