What say you? See my view, http://momwrite.com/2011/05/bin-laden-no-picture-explanation/<br /><br />By the way, when I was in Bowling Green, Ohio in 1989, I became acquainted with a lady and her baby son. The lady's name: Deborah Hunt and the baby's name: Nathaniel K Hunt. I am wondering if you know them. I went back to Bowling Green, OH a few times and have been thinking of them.momwrite/momwrite.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22657443.post-53841104577062409732011-05-06T16:17:36.776-05:002011-05-06T16:17:36.776-05:00Note that we're are dealing with probabilities...Note that we're are dealing with probabilities here and not certainties. It was the placing of the wounds that struck me as evidence that they were shooting a relatively stationary target. Try to imagine a realistic scenario in which someone is putting up a struggle or trying to escape and they somehow get exactly three execution-like wounds (at least that is how they sound in reports). <br /><br />You do have a point, though: if they had stood him up against a wall they might well have only shot him once. I'm assuming that's not what was going one. I can think of realistic scenarios intermediate between offering dangerous resistance on the one hand and being completely in their control on the other. (Note that the most recent official version of events is that they shot him because they were afraid he might have suicide vest under his nightshirt. That would be an example of an intermediate scenario -- tho' not a very plausible one, in my opinion.)Lester Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14746157071827337723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22657443.post-66247138956710056842011-05-06T14:18:51.948-05:002011-05-06T14:18:51.948-05:00This does not strike me as a particularly charitab...This does not strike me as a particularly charitable interpretation of the Administration's actions. Among other things, I don't see how the number of bullet holes in OBL's body is indicative of whether he was resisting or not. Presumably a person who is not resisting only needs to be shot once. Certainly only one shot to the head is needed if a person isn't resisting. A person who is resisting, on the other hand, might be shot multiple times given that we might presume that more than one Seal was trying to subdue him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
