#2 Give him tenure at Yale, a speaking tour of Australia and people-mover compliments of the UK taxpayer. Print T-shirts with his picture on and hand them out to street protesters, publish his memoirs and then give him the Nobel Peace Prize.

We have to be consistent with the way we have been fighting this war.

#3 IMO, the only difference between the victims here and US serviceman standing trial for killing an "Iraqi ally", is that the later has better developed survival instincts. Hope his lawyers are good.

#4 The goal here was not to kill US servicemen (that was a fringe benefit) - it was to cause US servicement to kill Iraqi soldiers, or to at least damage the trust that has been building over the past couple of years.

#8 an opinion,

The purp will most likely be hung by the Iraq Courts or the Iraqi Army.

#9 Push him out in the street wearing a T-shirt that says I Eat Pork & I Love It!

#10 But if we send him to Abu Ghraib or Guantanamo I thought they were only for the innocent terrorists!

Squeeze the MoFu until he spills his guts then hand him over to be barbequed. Hack the terrorist websites and put the video up for their viewing pleasure. Don't forget to include lots of Allahu akbars in the presentation.

#11 It would be best if the perp was hanged by the Iraqi Army after a court-martial. That's the proper way to handle this.

We can blow off steam by talking about BBQ, but among the things our people have been working on in Iraq from Day 1 are 1) respect for the rule of law 2) respect for tradition and 3) building an army that is loyal to the state and not to a person.

A proper court-martial and hanging reinforces all three ideas, and all are vital to a new Iraq.

Try him. Hang him.

#13 "Try him. Hang him."

I'm not holding my breath. Unless the muzzie is offered up to "political expediency" he won't be put to death. Sharia law trumps all in Iraq. It's in the iraqi constitution. Sharia law does not allow the death penalty for a muzzie who kills a kafir.

The only reason the Indonesian muzzies that pulled off the 2002 Bali bombing are on death row is that they just happened to kill other muzzies in the course of the bombing. Had no muzzie been killed in Bali there would be no death penalty for the muzzies who plotted the bombing and were captured after the fact.

We'll see what happens. Maybe allan does exist: why this muzzie pos is still alive to be questioned or even stand trial boggles my mind.

#14 Under Sharia law he can not be considered guilty at any angle. And I'm guess he's a muzzy.

News Flash Just In: Murtha declares him innocent and Jesse Jackson says he's a victim.

Spit.

#15 That's why this is a test for Iraq, folks.

If he gets a military court-martial and a severe sentence (death or life without parole) then we know we're making progress in the culture -- or at least, their army is.

If he doesn't, then we know.

#16 We're making progress. But not in all parts of Iraq and not evenly. I agree tho re: the trial and hanging.

#17 What Steve says. This could be a bifurcation point.

#18 Life without the possiblity of parole? Ain't no such thing in Islam.

This is an important moment in the story of Iraq.

Life in prison (until he gets let out at ramadan) doesn't cut it.

The coward needs to die. If he doesn't then we'll know the life of a "filthy kufir" (which is what so many of the muzzies call us behind our back) is not punishable by death in dar al islam. And that will further serve to confirm all I already know about the religion of islam.

#19 I'll wait and see.

#20 Try him. Hang him.

As long as he gets the same treatment and punishment one of ours would get for doing the same thing, I suppose I can't complain. But I'm skeptical he'd stay in past the first Ramadan after his actions are "forgotten". How many times have I heard about Muslim criminals conveniently escape and then totally disappear. How many times have I heard the line "He's under house arrest" only to have him show up elsewhere enjoying life. We'll see.

And if it does come down to hanging him, would it be OK to just very very s-l-o-w-l-y lift him off the ground by his nuts with a piece of piano wire first? Then hang him, of course. Then hack the terrorist websites . . . . >:-}
