You guys really think he's been in detainment? Or are you just joking. I'm as distrustful of the government as anyone, but do you honestly think they are even that competent? You guys overestimate them if you are serious, lol.
Anyway, I'm assuming they would have liked to have captured him alive, but it was more a situation of "we can't lose him, he's coming with us in a bag either alive or dead". He tried to escape, and they shot him down. We lost information (maybe; to be honest he may have been so insane that torture methods won't necessarily have worked on him), but we still gained a victory. Sure, one of his second in commands will step up to be the new leader, but contrary to popular belief, even psychos like those need an inspirational figurehead, something Bin Laden built up over the decades; it will take the new leader forever to get the underlings to truly follow him blindly like they did with Bin Laden, you know?
