Prova da morte de Osama

Pra quem acha que a dúvida da morte do Osama é de todo mundo menos dos EUA, dêem uma olhada nisso abaixo. Eu estava navegando nos comentários da matéria de capa do NYTimes de hoje e vi este post de um cidadão americano.

Buried at sea? Where is the evidence? I am livid--to think that anyone's word alone constitutes evidence! I don’t care if it had been the Pope who witnessed Bin Laden’s death. Given the actual fallibility of institutions such as the Catholic Church, we have all come to appreciate that _no one_ is above suspicion—even our government. Don’t you remember Bush and his “evidence” of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, the nonexistence of which destroyed Colin Powell’s political career?

Look. The masses have grown up watching Quincy, M.E, CSI, and Bones. Now forensic medicine is one of the most recognizable fields around the world. You can’t just tell people you killed “the most hated person in the Western world” and buried him at sea without providing evidence.

We should have allowed many other independent and international sources to conduct an autopsy and corroborate the findings.

The President’s message is disrespectful to our many uniformed officers who have either sacrificed their lives or had been wounded defending our country, our American intelligence and armed services, their families, and our nation. How can the President coerce us all to accept an unverifiable truth?

Now we all must pretend that we accept the story or else we were to appear unpatriotic, unappreciative or simply un-American. I cannot take this insanity any more.

I am very confused and angry that we are now forced to believe another lie.
