Personally, I wouldn’t put KSM to death if the Obama administration could ever come around on making a decision.
My sentence would be life on a pig farm cleaning up after the pigs and having to take orders from a female foreman. That would take away KSM’s martyrdom and would be a fate worse than death because he would be denied paradise and the 71 virgins and all that comes with it.
But, that’s just me.
From the New York Post:
Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden threatened in a new audio recording released Thursday to kill any captured Americans if the U.S. executes the self-professed mastermind of the Sept.11 attacks or any other al Qaeda suspects.
The U.S. is still considering whether to put Khalid Sheik Mohammed and four of his fellow plotters on military tribunal for their role in the Sept. 11 attacks.
The Obama administration is also looking into recommendations for civilian trials, and is expected to announce a decision soon.
In a brief 74-second audio tape aired on Al-Jazeera television, bin Laden said if the U.S. decides to execute any al Qaeda suspects in its custody — and explicitly mentioned Mohammed — his terror network would kill American captives.
Bin Laden said U.S. President Barack Obama is following in the footsteps of his predecessor George W. Bush by escalating the war in Afghanistan, being "unjust" to al-Qaida prisoners and supporting Israel in its occupation of Palestinian land.
