I do not know - no more than you or anyone else does - exactly what happened that night.
Perhaps Bin Laden went for a gun. Perhaps he went to scratch his dick. I don't know and I do not care.
I PRESUME that the US Military who were there WOULD have taken him alive IF they had the choice, but with spilt second decisions to make, if the ONLY resort was to kill him then I'm happy to leave it at that.
If someone could hold up Jihadi John's dead body somewhere in the world, I would not care either if they had shot him with a whaling harpoon gun while was sitting on the toilet or in the back while was running away.
Personally, I hope that if the day comes when Jihadi John gets his, that he is shot straight between the eyes while he is knelt, unharmed, and begging for his miserable life.
But, hey ho - that's me.

And the reasoning for dumping the body? You're happy to buy into that, too? I don't know exactly what happened there that night either, obviously, but the only reason I can think of for the swift and secretive disposal of the body is that they don't
want anyone to know how it went down. That bothers me. You're happy to accept it at face value "for the greater good". That's fine, but in my opinion, it's willful ignorance.
As for how I know that it's not all what it seems to be at face value? That one's easy. Simply nothing EVER is. Never. Not in interactions between individuals, not in politics, and certainly not in war.
