What happened that night in Abottabad? How is this assault to be judged in legal, in moral, in political terms? | |||
According to the dominant political discourse, what had happened was an act of justice. | |||
*President Obama: "And on nights like this one, we can say to those families who have lost loved ones to al Qaeda’s terror: Justice has been done." | |||
*UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon: "Personally, I am very much relieved by the news that justice has been done." | |||
*German chancellor Angela Merkel: "Ich freue mich darüber, dass es gelungen ist, Bin Laden zu töten." Evidently, she, too, albeit daughter of a Protestant pastor, whose church preaches "Thou Shalt Not Kill", thinks what happened was an act of justice. | |||
