On an Iowa radio program Tuesday, Ron Paul said he would not have ordered the killing of Osama bin Laden, saying, “No, not the way it took place.” He went on to explain that the U.S. should have worked with Pakistan to capture him instead. ABC summarizes Paul’s argument on the issue:
-->Paul said the U.S. government should have worked with the Pakistani government, respecting borders, to get at Osama bin Laden. He pointed to other terror suspects who were captured and tried. Paul pointed to the arrest of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, widely accepted as the 9/11 mastermind, by Pakistani authorities. Mohammed now sits at Guantanamo Bay awaiting trial by a military tribunal.
