Exactly right. This is what Christ would have us do. He said love your enemy not call no man your enemy. Terroist are our enemies. Our love for them means we do our best to caputre them alive then try them for their sins. We don't just shoot them and we don't just kick all Mid-Easterns off airplanes. We treat all with respect giving they at least the ability to prove their innocense.

Well I dont agree with you here. I think ideally any of those that have taken up arms against the US, including Johnny Walker, should be shot on site. There should be no prisoners unless they provide useful intelligence.

I am glad you are not the President then. If we did this we would lose world support very fast, truly falling down to near their level. If we get reports of a Terror Base we bomb the heck out of it killing everyone, that is fine. But when someone surrenders we do not shoot them unless we do not have sufficient force to guard them.

As far as Jonny Walker it is possible he could still be executed. But by then we will have everything out of him we can get. We may let him live out most of the rest of his life in prison also. This would allow others we capture to at least think that if they coroperate they might live. If they know they will die anyway we will learn nothing from them. If we keep them in prison for at least 40 years with no chance of probation, and very limited outside communication, they will not harm us.

P. S. Thanks for all the help defending this most likely innocent Agent.

P. P. S. I have changed a lot of ideas after watching how sucessfully Bush has governed. Everytime so far that I thought he messed up, it latter turned out he didn't. Overcoming Florida was unbelievable. I believe God is blessing GW Bush.
