Z, <back then we didn't have the luxury of such discretion. The urgency isn't there and it doesn't need to be there. We can afford to take our time if it means the loss of fewer lives.>

On the one hand, I have to disagree. The urgency is indeed there. Osama bin Laden and/or his henchmen will try again and continue trying as long as they're alive and able to find safe haven. America can't afford to take its time.

On the other hand, I think it's good to exercise discretion in this case. To do otherwise would elevate OBL to the level of 20th century monsters like Hitler or Stalin. The heinousness of his crimes tends to make him look bigger, more intelligent, and more dangerous than he actually is, in my opinion.
