Capone brings a knife, you bring a gun. They get one of yours, you put 20 in the hospital..

Interesting math. Two heads for one head.

[MizSterious]

Now here's a worthwhile idea!

[Colofornian]

Finally, an eye for an eye!

If my sterile math is correct on this, it's two necks for a neck.

[mhking]

Quid Pro Quo.

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[Maigrey]

D***. I wonder if the media will report this?

[knak]

this is getting plum crazy

"This is all Bush's, Cheney's and Ashworth's fault."

Psst, AshCROFT, John.

[theDentist]

Missing the irony... don't even know who the singer is...

[MortMan]

Isn't Ashworth Attorney General Ashcroft's second cousin, twice removed?

That is the only way we could possibly save the US soldier and other hostages that haven't been found yet, if they are still alive. We need to get tough. We don't negotiate, but we could sure send a message with a death penalty on those we are holding. As far as I'm concerned, there is no reason for the US to uphold the Geneva Convention. I say we treat the prisoners we hold like they treat ours. They want to save the lives of others like the beheadings that are the rage right now, the Afghans have got the perfect response.

Wow. Fairly interesting development.....

Dashole is extremely saddened by this news.

You guys ever hear that two wrongs don't make a right. Don't want to call barbarians that cut off their enemies heads allies.

The concept that the enemy of my enemy is my friend is what got us into the problem in Afghanistan in the first place. There be a lot of vintage 1980s American weapons out there.

[plain talk]

Actually a two for one trade!

[areafiftyone]

Can we get some Afghans to head up the Iraqi security forces?

I was thinking the same thing.

[Huck]

You guys ever hear that two wrongs don't make a right

Not when it comes to warfare...They bomb us...we....bake cookies?

[Normal4me]

Bump! Time to thin out Gitmo a little too. 20 criminals killed for every innocent killed sounds good to me.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Don't know.

Beheading seems to be a religious experience over there.

[True Capitalist]

Now that's "justice served." Has The Int'l Red Cross and Amnesty Int'l held press conferences yet to condemn these actions which are in violation of at least a dozen int'l treaties signed by France?
