Amnesty International has condemned Jordan for executing Islamic State (ISIS) terrorists in "revenge" for the group burning Jordanian pilot Maaz al-Kassasbeh alive on camera.

“The Jordanian authorities are rightly horrified by this utterly reprehensible killing but the response should never be to resort to the death penalty, which itself is the ultimate cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment," Philip Luther, director of AI's Middle East and North Africa Program, stated Wednesday. "The death penalty should also not be used as a tool for revenge. The ISIS’s gruesome tactics must not be allowed to fuel a bloody cycle of reprisal executions.”

Strange, I didn’t notice AI’s condemnation of ISIS burning the pilot alive.

[Raycpa]

I understood the killings were done in order to get prisoners released. They were surely going to try again.

[faithhopecharity]

so Amnesty International is still around, eh?

(who cares?)

[Eleutheria5]

This is Jordan we’re talking about. They torture everyone, including people stopped for speeding.

bttt

[BenLurkin]

And it HAS come to that.

[Eleutheria5]

Wholesale vs. retail. Sounds good.

Round up all the main Amnesty Int leadershipnand transport them to ISIS territory to try and negotiate a human rights accord with them .

You are talking about the elitist mindset that thinks that 10 years of room and board in an air-conditioned private carpeted dorm room is punishment for a rampage killing.

any more than 10 years would be punishing the tax payers too much!

[I want the USA back]

Did the hypocrites condemn the murder of the Japanese?
the burning of the pilot?

[Figment]

Screw anarchy international. Kill them like the vermin they are. They burn one alive, burn 100 in retaliation

[Viking2002]

Ooooooooooo, I like that one, too...........

What Amnesty International has to say is irrelevant to the discussion.

 

Absolutely - this is about a freaking war, a fight for survival, not some sort of civilian law enforcement issue. They're putting their unsolicited two cents in trying to stay relevant with their BS agenda.

 

[logic101.net]

never heard them condemn Hezbollah or Hamas or ISIS for anything.

That was my first thought about the headline. No condemnation of burning a legitimate combatant to death.

Amnesty International is that sexual deviant, child molester organization full of a bunch of maggot-infested hippies, right?

[EvilCapitalist]

On the odd chance any amnesty international folks are reading this board, do the letters F O mean anything to you?

[Rapscallion]

MEMO TO JORDAN: Consider yourselves lectured to by Amnasty International.

[DoughtyOne]

Amnesty International, often wrong when others get it absolutely right. These folk’s logic defies logic.

You declare as an ISIS member, or are captured during an ISIS uprising, you forfeit your life. It’s as simple as that.

ISIS kills, and their members will die as well.

Me thinks ISIS doesn’t target AI often enough for AI to grasp the issue.

[BatGuano]

BFD!

Well, if they’re so concerned about executions, maybe they can fly to daesh controlled territory and try to talk reason to the dears. Surely they’ll listen to their wise and oh so morally sanctimonious arguments.
