Unarmed he was shot in order of leg first, then chest and then head (http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/osama-bin-laden-unarmed-killed-white-house/story?id=13520152) President's order was "kill not capture". Possibly all within the American President's constitutional authority, I don't know. I'm no scholar of this.
Regardless I see parallels between these two incidents that tightrope the line between right and wrong, er, legal and illegal. I see hypocrisy at least. This guy comes back and goes all Charles Broson on his would-be assailants ass, five times no less. On the other hand Saddam Hussain, Slobodan Milošević, and several high ranking Nazis all saw trials for their war crimes.
