#1 And these are the people whose corpses we are supposed to worry about mistreating,

Aha. So let's stoop to their level. Is that the answer?

#3 apologize and investigate and assure the world

No apologies, investigations, and assurances are needed...but...I disagree with the following:

burning the bodies of dead murderers to my mind is a long way from actions completely out of bounds

The Russians did that sort of thing in Chechnya. It wasn't pretty. It wasn't necessary. Let's not go that route. And...

especially if such actions will save the life of even one American

How the hell he reached that conclusion is beyond comprehension.

Let's just kill the bad guys. Let's just take 2 two steps forward, without taking one step back. This is just giving more ammo to the enemy, and I have in mind the ones at home more than anything.
