In the aftermath of the death, in Pakistan, of OBL, the arch-terrorist responsible for the horrific 9-11 (2001) attacks, you would have to be pretty naive to think that at least some important Pakistani authorities did not know about OBL's hideout, so those who say that OBL should have been arrested in some formal procedure begs the question of arrested by who? It would have been also nice if Hitler had been arrested by some formal procedure before the invasion of Poland in 1939, and thus before the start of World War II, but again, by who? Nonetheless, in exacting justice, the military command, and by extension the Obama administration, should not have used the name of a revered Native American, Geronimo, as a code name for OBL. Geronimo was a 19th century Apache resistance fighter defending his land, and honored by the Indigenous People of America. So why would the military command mix Geronimo with OBL? Regarding the latter, Geronimo, he was not.
