Obviously the new hip thing to do is act extremely compassionate, philanthropic, and to be a humanist! Oh, the ROMANCE!!!
Grow some balls, this isn't an ideal world.
If you're so upset about it, what would you have done? Put him in a some sort of jail (Guantanamo most likely, or a less public affair) where he'd either be tortured, or isolated for the entirety of his remaining life. I'm quite certain I'd rather be dead than in a live Osama's position.
Punishment is never fair, just, or humane. But it is necessary. The only thing you can really speak out against in the context of punishment, would be torture. Just kill the sap quickly and be done with it. And that's about as anti-corporal punishment as I get.
