There is a lot to say for gaining intelligence information.  It's what you do with it that matters.

I think the time for intelligence gathering is past.  If we are going to do this it's time to stamp out the infestation wholesale or get done with it.

I put other and I will try to keep this PG-13. It starts out with a little water boarding for intel sake, and now it gets bad. First off a dowel rod dipped in super glue and then crushed glass. A small one then attach to drill and insert and make him talk some more. The rest you can read in early american history involving native american indians.

Here's the thing Bulldog. I don't like vengance because it says more about what kind of person you are, than what kind of person the other guy is (regardless of how deserving they may be). One of the side effects of teaching at a Quaker school for four years was getting this drilled into my head. I part company with them because I think killing is sometimes necessary. But just kill and move on. A dirty job done quick and clean. Anything else shows your ugly side.
FQ13, who is a little bit Quaker on this issue. Just my .02, take it or leave it.

Sad thing is, people in England actually used to bet on this crap. Kind of like cock fighting only minus the spurs (plus a whole lot more boring). Still, gold was on the table. It just goes to show what a lack of cable will drive people to if they are desperate for entertainment. Then there were the Welsh with ferret legging. Strip to the waist, wearing only a pair of white pants so the blood showed, stuff two ferrets inside and hop on the the spot. Guy hwo lasted longer was the "winner" though he generally wound up as the soprano in the Welsh choir. ;D ::)

How about a rapid military tribunal, and public hanging,....firing squad.  Gas Chamber?  You know old school...

Or lock him in a room with Wayne Newton & Barry Manilow cranked up 24/7....

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

The original premise was ...would we kill him with a missile attack...which, I would presume would mean he was not in custody.

Anything other than killing him at that time would mean attempting to capture him..which is a doubtful endeavor in that neighborhood...
