From here:

a LEADING Lancashire clergyman has spoken of his “surprise” after the Archbishop of Canterbury criticised the killing of Osama bin Laden.

Fr Timothy Lipscomb, vicar of Preston, claims the al-Qaeda leader needed “stamping out” and congratulated US special forces for killing the terrorist who was believed to have ordered the 9/11 attacks in New York and Washington that killed thousands of people. His comments come after Dr Rowan Williams, head of the 80-million strong Anglican Communion, said the killing of the unarmed terrorist left him with an “uncomfortable feeling.”…….

He said: “The fact of the matter is that bin Laden was a murderer and needed to be stamped out. It might not sound very Christian but it is true.

“I am a big supporter of the Archbishop’s but I was very surprised by his comments on this matter. He is a very intelligent man but maybe he sometimes has difficulty in expressing what he really means.”

A person who has difficulty expressing what he “really means” is usually signifying that he doesn’t know what he really means. I think Rowan Williams knew exactly what he meant in this case.
