Article here talks about new Predator imaging technology that allows the good guys (that’d be “us”) to be able to see inside buildings to track down, ID and kill the bad guys (that’d be “them”). Author opines that this new technology combined with an alleged secret order signed by President Bush to allow Afghan-based U.S. Specil Op forces to cross into Pakistan without Islamabad’s permission increases the odds of an “October surprise”.
And this…
Moreover, as Woodward writes, the president frequently relishes the death of individual extremists and insurgents in a way that even our professional soldiers find striking. Then-American commander in Iraq Gen. George W. Casey Jr. "told a colleague in private that he had the impression that Bush reflected the 'radical wing of the Republican Party that kept saying, "Kill the bastards! Kill the bastards! And you'll succeed."
Hate to be so reactionary but after watching the History Channel's "102 Minutes that changed America", count us among those who don’t mind a little blood-lust in the heart of our CinC when it comes to these “folks”.

Yes, but would we be infringing upon bin Laden's privacy?

“The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.”
- General George Patton
It applies here too only in this context replace "country" with "world view" or "ideology".
