Green Party candidate Jill Stein: I would not have assassinated Bin Laden

“I think assassinations … they’re against international law to start with and to that effect, I think I would not have assassinated Osama bin laden but would have captured him and brought him to trial,” Stein said while campaigning in Iowa over the weekend.

Stein also pointed to recent reports hinting at the involvement of some Saudi Arabian officials in the attacks.

“I think all evidence certainly points to bin Laden, but the 9/11 attackers had assistance and funding and bin Laden had assistance and funding.”

“What we should have done is declare a crime against humanity and pursued it, pursued the attackers and gotten the intelligence about who was behind this,” she added.
