In Afghanistan, religious extremists commit murder with their own

Our government uses robots to execute people (plus anyone else within
50 meters) that they used to arrest and take to Gitmo.
Is that better?
I would think death penalty opponents would be up in arms about this.
Death without a trial for suspicion of terrorism?
Nope, not a word when a Democrat is in the White House.
As a whole, I bet Anwar al-Awlaki would have rather been water boarded
a few times and be in Guantanamo with a chance to get out. They would
have a pretty hard time finding him guilty of anything in an American
court. Speech, even anti-American speech is still protected.
All that said, I still think he should have been killed ... but I
would kill the remaining bomber too.
Death penalty should be taken up by the religious before us atheist
"libruls" don't ya think?
The good news is that more states are either passing legislation
against or refusing to put people to death. It's not a deterrent,
never has been never will be.
I'm completely opposed to using drones. Collateral damage isn't
acceptable. It foments hatred and breeds more terrorists.
I think the jerks at Gitmo should be tried in a court of law and
either convicted and sentenced or sent wherever they can be monitored,
as necessary.
I don't recall the righties complaining when the Bush Admin killed tens
of thousands of Iraqis during that trumped up war.
