Believe me, I agree with your statement. I'm sure many around the world, fantasized about the various ways Bin Laden would meet his death.
The purpose of the mission (Bush and Obama) was to find and eliminate (kill) "THE" biggest enemy combatant. His death was both the definition of a successful mission and the meting of justice. Death was the objective and the sentence. It did not define the method of death.

My personal fantasy was to wrap him in bacon and force him to read a comic book with a cartooned Mohammed as the cuckold owner of a liquor store with a stripper wife.
