Actually haven’t seen Zombieland ... but I’ve heard the “double-tap” reference. Its on my list to see when I find it cheap.

I was actually just reading a DU thread on this topic. They complain that we won’t be outraged at this (just as we were not outraged at Rachel Corrie).
Honestly, is that not something to be proud of? We are often accused of being excessivley nationalistic, when, in reality, we just support those that are on the right side of the fight. We are accused of being xenophobic and racist ... except our reaction to Rachel Corrie (a white girl) is identical to our reaction to this guy (a Turkish man).
Would it not be hypocritical to support Israel when they take out non-American bad guys ... and then to get outraged when one of the dead happens to be a US Citizen? Is it not hypocritical of liberals to play the “American citizen” card at every opportunity, but to ignore the deaths of American citizens at the hands of Islamic terrorists at Ft. Hood, the WTC, The Pentagon, and in Iraq and Afghanistan?

I’ve heard the double-tap reference from dramas about the SAS. (Not saying they originated it).
“Mouth-shot, double-tap” has the sort of unsqueamish pragmatism you want in a hostage situation.
There is an older Mafia phrase of, “Two in the hat”. ( You don’t technically need to be wearing a hat. )
