In terms of streetsoldiers "eye for an eye" reference... I believe that it can be interpreted in a way that promotes reparation rather than revenge.

In this case... a person who is responsible for ending lives, is required for the remainder of their days to save lives...

In addition... the person would need to make reparations to all of those folks affected by their actions... this includes people such as the families of the victims and the communities where the event occurred...

Though this logic may prove impractical for a large tragic event masterminded by a few people, this system of "Restorative Justice" is becoming a increasingly popular method of maintaining order at large colleges where acts of defiance and destruction are commonplace.

Just a bit of food for thought...

Actually rainband that was a comment i heard a victim of the 9/11 tragedy's mother say. she was tired of the perpetuation of these games and really thought that if we get underhanded in this war we are no better than them.

Let me be perfectly clear here...

I have done my fair share of negotiation and interrogation, and I'd employ whatever techniques I find expedient to elicit the information I'm looking for...after that, Sheikh Mohammad goes to trial (and I don't care if it becomes a "showcase" proceeding or military tribunal), and WHEN convicted, I don't give a rat's @$$ what happens to him.

Are we "green"? :?
