U.S. Dismisses Criminal Charges Against Bin Laden - Since He's Dead

A federal judge has approved a request by prosecutors to officially dismiss all criminal charges against Osama bin Laden.   This makes sense - declaring terrorists criminals is what candidates do, not presidents.   Presidents kill them and get re-elected.  

If you are curious, Pres. Obama's predecessor George W. Bush did not file the criminal charges, that was done in 1998 by President Clinton.    Obviously hoping police arrest him did not pan out so Obama did the right thing having him shot.
