The New York Times has updated its headline of a book review that referred to al-Qaeda founder Usama bin Laden as a "devoted family man" following swift backlash, including fromm the man who killed the terrorist leader.

Louise Richardson's review of Peter Bergen's book "The Rise and Fall of Usama bin Laden," which focused partly on his personal life, was originally titled, "Osama bin Laden, the Fanatical Terrorist and the Devoted Family Man." The headline was later changed to "A Fuller Picture of Osama Bin Laden’s Life." The review was published just over a month out from the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks.

Robert O'Neill, the former U.S. Navy SEAL who fatally shot bin Laden in 2011, was among those who condemned the Times for its description.

"Family man. He used his wife as a human shield," O'Neill reacted. "Lucky for me he was taller than her."

He had also multiple wives

They just decided to forget bout that

They are laughable as a paper and if the CCP didn’t pay them they would be out of business

All the firemen, first responders, and police killed on 911 were family men.

Should the New York Times be put on a terrorist watch list. If it was a republican publication there would be backlash. Screw osama I’m glad he’s dead
