Killing him outright has created enough of a media storm, can you imagine what would happen if they had taken him alive back to the US, presumably on camera? Given what they have already done, they have, as best as possible, reduced the extent of martyrdom by dealing with the problem in in the shortest possible span of time, and dealing with the body in the least inflammatory way.
The wording of this article seems a little out of place by the standards of this website, and its not fair to accuse the first commenter of lacking empathy for marines since they didn't do that at all. The language you chose seems obsequious toward military personnel, maybe because you only have a couple of paragraphs to cover the thing, maybe you meant it that way to be provocative. Either way many people, including those not fundamentally opposed to the military, find this kind of talk disturbing when overt enthusiasm is applied to lethal weapons. They're not to be treated like toys, are they? And Tori, you might wanna double check that (mis)quote.
