   And did he followup by saying: "So the agents who are responsible for   
   gaining the information that led us to this glorious day will be   
   prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for the methods they used,   
   and we promise to never use these very same techniques again? We promise   
   to give no closure to the families of the victims of 911 by hiding any   
   evidence of the execution of Bin Laden?  And with respect to your fallen   
   coworkers, we honored their murderer with a proper funeral and burial   
   including washing his body and draping him in proper garb before we sent   
   him off to sea?   
      
   I'm sure this will bring comfort to all people who lost family and   
   friends on 911.
