United States Seeking Death Penalty for 9/11 Detainees
Anybody else feel like the entire rest of the flippin’ world is watching and waiting for us to kill these folks that we’ve had at gitmo for all this time? I feel it, I feel it like the hot burning eyes of scorn.
I don’t under any circumstances like the idea of letting people go after we’ve found credible evidence proving–or even strongly suggesting–that they participated in these terror attacks… but who’s the genius suggesting that we should kill them, thus martyring them to the rest of their cause and making us look like jerks on the world stage. There’s a reason why most modern countries have done away with doing away with people in their criminal justice systems: it does absolutely no good, and it just makes civilized people look like monsters.
Let’s keep these folks locked in a cage for the rest of their natural life, and let God sort them out when He decides their time is up… but FFS let’s stop murdering murderers. It only harms our society and desensitize us to death… and I’m sure that this blood-lust isn’t doing anything good for the kids either.

Stumble it!
ditto! I am against capital punishment in the first place, but keeping them locked up for the rest of their lives is far worse than killing them. But you have all of those people that say “but keeping them locked up will cost tax payers umteen billions of dollars.” Killing them isn’t going to save us any money. Our prison system is so over populated it isn’t even funny. We put people in prison for the most petty things.
capital punishment bad
