the message president obama sent by endorsing assassination: muslims are subhuman and unworthy and undeserving of due process.
fish rots from the head down. this signal sent by the commander in chief will be picked up on by troops on the ground. they will read this as a green light to continue treating the entirety of afghanistan as a no holds bar, free fire zone.
and one can just imagine how this will be read domestically. gun toting, racist rednecks are going to read this as open season on muslims.
but this is just bin laden, one man, apologists will protest. muslim hating bigots aren't known for nuance. the only good muslim is a dead muslim is how they will interpret this.
