His Son

Below is a letter supposedly written by Omar Bin Laden, fourth eldest son of Osama Bin Laden:

The letter said, in part: "We hold the American President (Barack) Obama legally responsible to clarify the fate of our father, Osama bin Laden, for it is unacceptable, humanely and religiously, to dispose of a person with such importance and status among his people, by throwing his body into the sea in that way, which demeans and humiliates his family and his supporters and which challenges religious provisions and feelings of hundreds of millions of Muslims."

The letter said the U.S. administration had offered no proof to back up its account of the mission. It alleged the goal of the raid had been to kill and not arrest, adding that afterwards the American commandos had "rushed to dispose of the body."

I don't understand the sudden concern for the rights of terrorist. Since we didn't close Guantanamo Bay we need to send them prisoners. Now that we've killed his father. Do we have to go after his son?
