"In the broader sense the word "execution" is used for killings which are done in a ritualized fashion in some manner, like mob-related "executions"."
Using the word "execution" in this broader sense tends to give the barbaric actions of murderous thugs an aura of pseudo-legitamacy. I wish President Bush and others would stop using it this way. What is wrong with saying "barbaric murder"?
Nick Berg's father in his brainwashed liberal mindset will probably set up donation and funding for the killers defense when caught!I mean they should have all the due process of fair legal counsel,and treatment under U.S.and coalition custody!I'm sure M.Berg is worried to death these demons that killed N.Berg will be abused with the horrible panty torture!Maybe the democrats can have them come over and stay at their house while they are being tried under U.S.civil rights ACLU protection!
