Excessive Force?

The US dropped 2 bombs on Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's "safe" house and he is dead. This is a good thing.

Now there are accusations against the military that they may have beaten and then shot him. I don't believe those accusations.

But tell me this - why are people bothered by the idea that the ground troops may have shot him? Is that considered too brutal? After we dropped bombs in his lap? We can blow him up but we can't just blow him away?

I'm just asking because I really don't understand the equation.
