Actually, it is too bad that we didn't take him alive. He doubtless knew a lot of things that we would like to know. According to the TV news this morning Bagdadi wore a suicide vest which he detonated before he could be captured. But the plan was good, helicopter in some troops to take him alive is better than using a Predator drone to snuff him with a Hellfire anti tank missile.
I like taking out the enemy higher ups. Strikes me as more civilized than killing a lot of plain foot soldiers just because we can.
