Osama bin Laden has been murdered.
I for one am relieved and cannot mourn his death.
But I do mourn the loss of a part of our collective humanity in the manner of his death.
For murder, for any reason, diminishes us all.
How much better had we brought him to trial with the dignity and fairness more fitting our American ways.
Ironically, sadly, his murder then perhaps bin Laden's last evil, hate filled, violent act against us all.
