#1 Not only is the poor guy killed, but the media calls him an officer! Can't catch a break.

#3 Army officer executed by jihadis in southern Thailand

He was murdered, not executed - regardless of what the perps claim. Execution carries the implication of justice. Using the word execute gives legitimacy to the monsters that did this. Murdering someone "execution-style" still doesn't make it an execution.

One of the last straws for me with my National Geographic subscription was when they said that Nick Berg was executed by terrorists.

Maybe it's a nit and a personal problem on my part that I get hung up on this word, but words matter - expecially now.

#4 Good point. The concept of execution depends on justice being served. Traitors should be tried and executed. Terrorists are murderers.

#7 All the pickpockets of my acquaintance stop to shoot the police guards execution-style through the back of the head before stealing their assault rifles and roaring off on motorcycles. Please do try to keep up with the times, .com dear.

#10 .com, it's just that you gravitate toward people full of lovingkindness -- you're innocent that way. ;-)
