http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/07/world/middleeast/07yemen.html

Let me be the first to say it but this IS a step in the right direction

The statement should be severely broadened.

With all due respect but you guys should think this over a little more carefully.

Today it's Muslim terrorists, tomorrow it will be...Government killing its own citizens with out trial, scary thought...

I wonder what this is really about, obviously you can't take it at face value because they wouldn't have made it public if it was just about this one guy. We will probably never hear the real story.

A government deliberately killing it's own citizens is definitely not something I would ever endorse. A very troubling development.

Sometimes, when the limb has cancer, you have to cut it off before the infection spreads.

Is that a quote from Hitler, Stalin or was it Pinochet?

Closest one is Stalin saying you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet.

I agree with Aklim, it is a step in the right direction... but I have to say. If this would have happened under Ws watch most of you would be talking about this being the beginning of the next holocaust.

I think if there is enough evidence against this guy, why not save the tax payers some money a administer Justice on the battlefield. Ala Judge Dredd

Wow.

It's comments like these that scare me. I hope to goodness you guys aren't on the wrong end of a disagreement with a firing squad. Seriously think about what you're saying. The court of public opinion is one that is easily swayed.

I personally would rather have one nut job go free then an innocent man get killed because of some military intelligence officer saw him as a threat. I pay for the priviledge of being judged fairly.

I love and respect your conversation gentlemen and please take this as comfortably as you can, but I'm grateful I don't live under leaders who enact this wild west justice on this whole country.

Acts of treason need to be dealt with severely. They bring it upon themselves. It's one thing to speak your mind, but its another when you actively engage in destructive attacks on your own country. Unless you have a plan that you're not sharing, you have nothing to worry about.

That's an entirely different issue. There is a legal system that exists to try such cases.
