That's somewhere we'll always differ thoufacing gh Kirk. I'd rather live and die hearing the truth than be safer in ignorance.

I do not hold with being ignorant T.S. - not in any way. I absorb as much knowledge as I can, about all subjects.

However, I was not the ones with Bin Laden that night in a terrorist-friendly country, faced with potentially overwhelming odds and the job of capturing the world's No. 1 Murdering Terrorist at the time.

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.
