"Some people just need killing": fat cat industrialists, famous people, etc. That would be what terrorists think. The distinction isn't that broad. I don't think we should go down that road. Next stop: Iraq, Lebanon.
If you read my previous posts, you'd have seen my comment on multiple eye witnesses, and self confessions. I'm not saying it's perfect, nothing is. Putting someone away for life doesn't fix anything either though. Those people have better living conditions than a lot of people I know, that aren't in jail. If they aren't guilty then why do we build "super-max" prisons? That's a whole lot of tax payers money being spent for people who have no regard for their fellow man. Call it callous, or cold, but I've already raised my hand and swore to protect my country. I've already been to places where they don't speak the same language as me, and most likely would kill me than help me.
