The Telegraph (British) website reports today (May 6, 2011) that the Archbishop of Canterbury -- spiritual head of the 80 million worldwide Anglican Community -- has criticized the White House for repeatedly changing its account of the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound in Pakistan.
Killing bin Laden -- when he was not carrying a weapon -- meant that justice could not be "seen to be done," the Archbishop said.
Lawyers and senior figures from politics and the military said the Archbishop of Canterbury -- whose comments on bin Laden's death are the harshest of any Christian clerical leader -- was not living in "the real world," while relatives of 9/11 victims expressed outrage at his remarks.
A senior government source described the Archbishop's comments as "very unwise," adding: "One has to give some thought for all the unarmed people that bin Laden killed. This was a very silly thing to say."
