Why not put a bomb in his room and blow him to bits and pieces?

Ethically, a nation doesn't own the lives of its citizens. (Debatable, I know. But it's a defensible position that also happens to be mine.)

Pragmatically, wouldn't we feel really stupid 5 years down the road when another terrorist mentions that the Times Square bomber had the numbers of bin Laden's Swiss bank accounts memorized?

You got that right!
On the contrary, dying for their cause will make them a hero. We cannot give them that.

If this were a money bet, assuming the Dane was a Danish born Nordic, I'd go with Pakistan, Yemen, Morocco, Algeria, Somalia........

Have their execution admistered by a homosexual or a prostitute. While they're eating baby back ribs.

That'll take the starch out of his jihadist britches.

Not bad, another loser terrorist thrown in jail on Obama's watch. All the right wing crybabies must really hate this keeping America safe thingy. Lord knows they've been praying for a terror attack since Obama has been in office.
