That's an interesting read. I just read it and will have to take some time to formulate an opinion. On one hand, they got rid of someone who obviously was willing to engage in terrorist attacks. On the other, he might not have ever committed any acts had they not helped him.



What sways me more towards they did the right thing was that he had intentions of committing the acts, as shown by his own testimony. If someone else had gotten wind of it, it might have gone down differently.
