[B]UN rights boss asks US for facts on bin Laden killing[/B]

Source: reuters // Reuters

* Pillay says counter-terrorism operations must respect law
* Calls for U.S. to provide "precise facts" of his killing
* But says his deeds amounted to crimes against humanity

GENEVA, May 3 (Reuters) - The United Nations' top human rights official called on the United States on Tuesday to give the U.N. details about Osama bin Laden's killing and said that all counter-terrorism operations must respect international law.
But Navi Pillay, U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, said that the al Qaeda leader, killed in a U.S. operation in Pakistan, had committed crimes against humanity as self-confessed mastermind of "the most appalling acts of terrorism", including the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on America.
It was always clear that taking bin Laden alive was likely to be difficult, she said, noting that U.S. authorities had stated that they intended to arrest him if possible.
"This was a complex operation and it would be helpful if we knew the precise facts surrounding his killing. The United Nations has consistently emphasised that all counter-terrorism acts must respect international law," Pillay said in a statement issued in response to a Reuters request.
In Washington, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder defended as lawful on Tuesday the U.S. operation to go into Pakistan that resulted in the death of bin Laden and the taking of his body. [ID:nWAT015083]
"If he was captured and brought before a court, I have no doubt he would have been charged with the most serious crimes, including the mass murder of civilians that took place on 9/11, which were planned and systematic and in my view amounted to crime against humanity," said Pillay, a former U.N. war crimes judge.

Agreed. Obama did not need the UN's approval to have OBL killed, and he does not have to answer to them now.

Oh yes, we really should take this seriously...:rolleyes:

I think it's actually refreshing that the U.S. simply went in and completed the job despite the prevaricating duplicity of the Pakistanis. The U.N. should be confronting Pakistan on harboring mass-murdering terrorists, which I would think is more to the point of "human rights."

LOL yeah, let them get pissed at the U.S. for leaving them out... worthless fools.

Why don't they ask Pakistan what the hell is going on that this dude was living a lavish lifestyle within their military population.

The UN time and time again seems more concerned in giving terrorists rights instead of worrying about the rights terrorists deprive other people of.

[QUOTE=Green Jets & Ham;4020055]The reason we left the U.N. out of the loop is very simple, because we know that corrupt institution is swarming with duplicitous snakes and there's NO DOUBT one of them would have tipped off Bin Laden had they known in advance.

Ditto Pakistan

Thats why I give Obama VERY HIGH MARKS for the way he handled this.

Politics aside, he played this EXACTLY RIGHT

I have my problems with Obama, but the sonovagun has some Michael Corleone in him :cool:[/QUOTE]
this!

except for the Corleone part lol

I would comply. Submit a piece of paper that simple says:

FACT: We killed Bin Laden.

I know of a recently vacant compound in Paki... with a helicoptor landing pad and two, three... new entrances.

Sounds ideal.
