It seems that among the 10 years, millions of dollars, hundreds of thousands of hours and thousands of people employed in locating Bin Laden, no one spent a minute to think what would be done after his death, or his body, or with photos. Neither were devoted much time to refine the communication strategy for the account of his disappearance strengthen the U.S.
image in the world, not weaken, and is on track to occur. New Yorker magazine that has rescued the history of the execution of Che Guevara at the hands of the CIA after having been captured alive speaks volumes about how the destruction of a myth can help to strengthen it. So, the news of the decade is poised to become a public relations disaster of incalculable proportions.
To do so, had to ally the absence of any prior plan and the confusing, contradictory and shifting explanations post about everything that happened. Knowing the U.S., and remembering what happened with the execution of Saddam Hussein, there is fear that we will end up watching the blur of his death or poor quality video of its unique marine burial, including Islamic ceremony, obtained via mobile phone a participant in the operation.
Nothing sums up better communication disaster this last act of the drama that began in September 2011 with the attack on the Twin Towers to give Bin Laden the code name "Geronimo", the legendary Apache chief happened to American history by (read it) its fierce spirit of resistance against a superior enemy.
His biographers say that during his 23 years of confinement in the San Carlos reservation was subjected to numerous humiliations, including being displayed as a trophy in the inaugural ceremony of President Theodore Roosevelt and, worse, be forced to publicly embrace the faith Christian.
So if something speaks Geronimo's biography is how the technological superiority of a people does not necessarily imply moral superiority. Therefore, this name key should have functioned as a warning that sometimes the nobility of the role of a case can be strangely compatible with the moral anesthesia from those who have to defend on the ground.
Some of the chilling events in which they have been involved U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, most recently a chilling tale of premeditated murder and maiming civilians published this week Rolling Stone, this hypersensitivity refers to the actions of States together with the fact that his image is quite muddy by the blunders and abuses committed since 11 September.
The popular jubilation in Times Square and other public places in the United States can only be understood if one realizes that, psychologically, that country is engaged in a war. Obama probably thought at some point in the need to move the war from the CIA and the Pentagon to the State Department and the FBI, but it seems that this goal was abandoned long ago, as evidenced by the increase in attacks by aircraft drone in Pakistan under his leadership and unwillingness to close Guantanamo.
The contrast between the perceptions on both sides of the Atlantic is obvious: hard to imagine that Spain held in the streets capturing the heads of the military apparatus of ETA or ultimately responsible for the bombings in Atocha. Europe, Spain, not in "war on terror", but "fight against terrorism." There are puns, but differences, as we have important consequences.
The embarrassment of the White House to the questions asked clearly reflects the difference, since the logic of war that Bin Laden died armed or unarmed missile was fired while he slept gives quite the same as it was a legitimate objective; from the logic of justice, however, details are important.
However, there is a gap between awkward questions, but necessary in a democracy, and qualify the death of Bin Laden as an extrajudicial killing. The problem is that, as shown by the decision to give bin Laden the code name of an Apache escaped a booking, Obama did not break with the legacy of George W.
