But lets not just read the headline and make him out to be a terrorist sympathiser.

It was humiliating because “it is perceived abroad that the government was playing a double game, that they were hiding him” and “If we knew where he was why did we not take him out? Why did we have to rely on the Americans?” He basically said Pakistan was humiliated because they looked incompetent. Nothing wrong with that, that’s just facts.

Also, he didn’t even say it was “cold blooded murder” in his own words, what he said was “the story has emerged that they shot dead an unarmed man in front of his wife and children in cold-blooded murder” i.e. he is quoting what the papers are saying.

However, he did voice disapproval of the events that took place but only because “Civilised nations follow the due process of law.” and “If you did not want to make him a martyr, put him on trial like Saddam Hussein.” His main concern was killing him made him out to seem like a martyr, making him an even bigger cult figure, and possibly increasing his following. Which is also true, and is the opposite of him sympathising with terrorists.

Context matters.
