Today, Obama Told CNN He Supports The Death Penalty For Osama Bin Laden:

In A CNN Interview, Obama Says He Supports The Death Penalty For Osama Bin
Laden. "In an interview with CNN, the Senator says he's no 'cheerleader for
the death penalty,' but 'I think plotting and engineering the death of 3,000
Americans justifies such an approach.'" (Mark Halperin, "Obama: Death Penalty
For Bin Laden," Time's "The Page" Blog, thepage.time.com, 7/11/08)

In June, Obama Said That If Bin Laden Were Captured, He Would Not Make Him A
"Martyr":

Obama: "I think what would be important would be for us to deal with him in a
way that allows the entire world to understand the murderous acts that he's
engaged in and not to make him into a martyr." (Caren Bohan, "Obama: U.S.
Should Avoid Making Bin Laden A Martyr," Reuters, 6/18/08)
