Where does it say in the constitution that killing is wrong?
Vidia100
The death penalty does not punish people for killing, but for murder or , "the unlawful and malicious or premeditated killing of one human being by another". The Fifth Amendment talks about this.
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Above is correct- and the US Constitution does NOT say that killing is wrong. It places limits on being charged with a "capital crime"- which is one that carries the death penalty. It DOES prohibit "cruel and unusual punishment"- but the death penalty was not considered inherently "cruel and unusual. Burning someone alive WOULD be cruel and unusual. This is in the 8th Amendment. See link below

Why the killing of osama bin laden is wrong?
Good question. Killing is not wrong. Killing without justification is perhaps wrong. Any government has a duty to protect its citizens. That duty often is onerous. Decisions have to be made. Some of which we may all not agree with. A decision was made, by duly appointed people, that killing Osama bin Laden would be for the common good. It was therefore carried out by the will of the people. It may have been wrong to do so.
