<<We might ask ourselves how we would be reacting if Iraqi commandos landed at George W. Bush's compound, assassinated him, and dumped his body in the Atlantic.>>

Well, he participated in the killing of about a million of theirs, and in the eyes of whatever Deity there might be, every one of them is his equal, at least.

<<operation was a planned assassination, multiply violating elementary norms of international law>>

Figures - international law, by rulers, for the protection of the ruling class. If private soldiers and civilians are fair game, why not the warmongers-in-chief?

<<anger that Pakistan didn't turn over bin Laden, though surely elements of the military and security forces were aware of his presence in Abbottabad>>

In a country where a guy named Mr.10% has no trouble getting elected as president, 15000 ounces of gold (it used to ~50000 oz.) would certainly been temptation enough for someone to have ratted out OBL. Either that or I am seriously underestimating their national moral character.
