Although South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu was brought to Tacoma Wednesday night to inspire people, he also had a strong reprimand toward Americans rejoicing in the death of Osama bin Laden.When asked during an interview conducted by the Tacoma News Tribune about the United States' killing of bin Laden, Tutu was dismayed."Many of us were saddened by the spectacle of gloating," Tutu said.
Tutu said if bin Laden was without arms, and if the United States followed its own values, it would have seized bin Laden and brought him to face charges, not killed him."You would not normally shoot to kill someone who was at the time unarmed," Tutu said.But he cautioned, "We don't know all the circumstances."
