I'm studying for the CPA exam. Have a nice summer, and if you're down just sit back and realize that Joe is off somewhere, doing much worse than you are.

I think captured Al Queada provide the perfect incentive to bring back gladitorial combat. Intermixed with the occassional bouts against ravenous wild animals a few matches to the death would go a long way.

Or perhaps once their guilt is established, they should be dropped off on a deserted island, equiped only with an AK-47 and some basic supplies. The government could then sell hunting permits to all those "red blooded, God fearin', gun totin', beer drinkin', confederate army wannabes", who would use those permits to land on the island and go hunting. That way the Christian fundies can kill the rag heads in the name of the Lord, while the Islamic fundies can kill the infadels in the name of Allah. Everybody wins!
The most basic assumption about the world is that it does not contradict itself.
I agree that the perpetrators must be punished severely. But, contrary to what so many knee-jerk, blood-lusting Americans would like to believe, merely capturing and punishing them will not prevent this sort of thing from happening again in the future. No, they must be tried and convicted in a U.S. court of law, so that President Bush can, on live TV, pump bullet after bullet into their bodies, starting with their feet and slowly working his way up. Then, after a great deal of soul-searching and consultation with his top advisors, the president must toss their lifeless, bullet-riddled bodies into a shark tank

Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."- General Sir Charles Napier

Half-starved animals would upset those friendly folks at PETA. So, throw them in there also. And some fundies for dessert!

Put him on the ground floor of a big useless building and implode it upon him.

I can agree to that. See how HE likes it when a building falls down on top of you!
I think I'll post this in the dedicated thread too.
