If he did it, he's wearing our uniform, attacked US troops during a time of war. I say declare him a spy and shoot him.

No death until torture to find out what he knows.

Enough of the kid gloves already.

GM Sam, I agree wholeheartedly with you.

There is a very good precident for summary execution, in case those of the lawyerly persuasion need some. During WWII, especially in the Ardennes Campaign (Battle of the Bulge), there were quite a few German specops types (usually American-born, so they would have natural accents), who were specifically tasked with infiltrating US Troops, and carrying out the same sort of fragging (not a WWII term, but one I am more familiar using), that occurred today. As I recall from my studies, back when history was history, and having grown up among WWII vets (I even thought I was going to be welcomed home from Vietnam [cynical LOL]), the "punishment" was about equally divided between shooting on the spot, a drumhead tribunal followed by shooting on the spot, or actual trials followed by Hanging ("Tod Durch den Strang") if one wants the sentence in the language in which it was pronounced to the impersonators.

There is a whole bunch of video clips floating around on the 'net showing the execution of sentence on these impersonators. I'm suprised that "John Jihad II" didn't see these at one time or another. I am even more surprised that justice was not meted out on the spot, but Broadcast Cameras do cramp one's style a bit [Huge evil Grin]

Keep the Faith for Freedom, and give your cats a scratch behind the ears for me. Greg
