As David Starkey pointed out yesterday it's worrying how we become our enemy. The scenes in New York of people celebrating Bin laden's death can only be compared to scenes seen in the Middle East, the west never used to celebrate deaths like that. The use of torture to gain this information, holding people without trial and not giving Bin Laden a trial are further examples of how we're turning into our enemy in some respects which is a very bad thing indeed. How on earth are we supposed to have the moral high-ground anymore?
Don't get me wrong, I think it's a good thing he's been killed without doubt and he may well of deserved it but American attitudes and abuses of human rights are worrying.
