This girl is a harcore granola-head and pacifist type, and doesn't think we should kill the terrorists (heaven forbid). Instead she thinks we should capture them and put them in a zoo located near the WTC where passersby could throw rotten fruit and insults at them for the rest of their days, and admission ticket proceeds would go to the victims families.

While at first i thought this was utterly stupid, i'm willing to be open to ideas i guess. Anyone else agree with this idea, or do you think she's a complete loon?

What does she think of the fact that it'll take countless extra American lives to bring UBL back alive?

What happens if they get out? Then we have all the worst terrorists in our own backyard. No thanks! Really these guys deserve to go on trial at the LEAST, with a death sentence preferable. IMO, we have been too nice to them for too long. The time for justice is NOW.

The problem with that is that other terrorists will take hostages and demand that we release their terrorists friends. Of course, if we kill the hostages, then the terrorists will kill more innocent people as "revenge". There's no winning with terrorists.

And, yes, your friend is a loon...

Lets say someone bound and gagged Osama, and dropped him on the FBI's doorstep. What would we do with him? I'm sure many Americans would want to see some form of public torture, but this won't happen. Would they execute him? If so, that's far too easy of a way out. Would they throw him in federal prison with his buddies from the original WTC bombing? Great, total isolation for the rest of his life, but he still gets off easy.

You want a non-violent punishment?

Tie him down and cover him with dog food and then let a pack of dopey friendly golden retrievers lick him to death. If you know how most middle easterners feel about dogs, you would know that this is pretty awful torture.
 

I say just throw him in Rikers with a bunch of horny rapists. He will be tossing salads and getting rear-ended the rest of his miserable life. That's way more satisfying than just killing him.

glenn1: This is a novel idea. It would probably raise a substantial amount of money.

However, you know as well as I do that too many of us can hit targets at over 500 meters with our rifles.

Pigs would be worse. I could be wrong, but I thought that they hated pigs and pork products. Maybe it's time for Operation Bacon Eagle. We fly squadron after sqadron of B-52's loaded with live pigs over the terrorist areas and let 'em go. Maybe we could also gather up all the expired bacon from supermarkets across the country and let them have that too. ;)

LOL @ the pigs.

We should use crop dusters and spray bacon grease all over Afghanistan. ;)

maybe we could cut his family up into little pieces, make chili with the meat, and feed it to him?

HAHAHAHA

i like the zoo idea. unfortunately it would be dismissed as being entirely unhumane.

i like her brand of pacifism tho, it's not truly pacifism. cause it still requires war to capture the criminals.
