Obama Approves Targeted Killing of American

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has taken the extraordinary step of authorizing the targeted killing of an American citizen,...

It is extremely rare, if not unprecedented, for an American to be approved for targeted killing, officials said.

Obama is going to whack a fellow citizen.

Yet Obama wanted to try KSM in New York City.

*facepalm*

Capital Punishment

There are the standard reasons to support capital punishment; punishment, deterrent, and it's constitutionally accepted.

Some folks, for example fellow blogger Mitch at SitD and peacnik liberals, oppose the death penalty because of the minuscule chance of being put to death for a crime you did NOT commit.

The chance of being put to death for a crime you did not commit are about one in a billion.

Some folks actually think those are high odds. Don't get me wrong, I agree the government tends to screw up everything, but lets be realistic. Fix or improve the system before you abandon it.

I have another reason to support capital punishment.

Without capital punishment, the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks (KSM), if convicted, would be allowed to safely write letters to his terrorist family/friends possibly planning the next attack on our country.
