		<description>&lt;B&gt;In order to stop the violence, drug use and incarceration that is breaking up our families and communities, we cannot simply Lock Up all the “cold-blooded murderers” but we MUST provide an alternative– such as decent paying jobs and a good education, so there is another choice. Many of these men and women have no choice. And if given one, would choice to live by the law in a safe and happy environment. Wouldn’t you?&lt;/b&gt;

That is the propaganda. The reality is Iraq. They will sacrifice as many people as is necessary to achieve their political goals, such as power or status, regardless of what they say concerning poverty causing crime.

When faced against real opposition and problems, the Left and their Democrat allies will fold as they always do.</description>

		<description>If you spend any time whatsoever in one of the many awful "hoods" that we have here in America, you will see that not all "cold-blooded murders" are bad people. They are simply, to use Hillary Clinton's favorite term of late, Invisible to the rest of society. When someone grows up in a place where everyone is poor, nobody can pay their bills, buy groceries, or even consider paying to go to a private school or college, there are very few options for survival. The only person in the hood with anything is the drug dealer and/or the gangbanger.

In order to stop the violence, drug use and incarceration that is breaking up our families and communities, we cannot simply Lock Up all the "cold-blooded murderers" but we MUST provide an alternative-- such as decent paying jobs and a good education, so there is another choice. Many of these men and women have no choice. And if given one, would choice to live by the law in a safe and happy environment. Wouldn't you?

Also, we currently have 2.3 million people incarcerated in State and Federal institutions in America. A huge percentage of those people are going to eventually get out, no matter how hard politicians try to be "tough on crime." A big issue I have with our system, is that when these men and women take their Time in Prison and use it constructively to change themselves, their habits, their associations--essentially their Lives--we ignore the drastic and incredible work they have done and refuse to let them out--at a huge cost to taxpayers.

The system is backwards and should reward people for rehabilitation. Its an extremely expensive, inhumane, and deranged practice.</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Do you really believe German authorities let her out to tease Americans? &lt;/b&gt;

The Germans exchange terrorists for hostages all the time. But never American hostages.

Nobody is guaranteed freedom to negotiate with terrorists to their heart's content.</description>

		<description>Do you really believe German authorities let her out to tease Americans? The German legal system is simply different to the American and one of its main principles is that you can't keep people in prison for something, that is not a crime - and as everyone is guaranteed freedom of mind (which has, by the way,  been realised as a human right in the US far earlier than in Germany) she is free to fell remorse or not. Feeling remorse is - as a matter of fact - no element of crime (And I'm pretty sure that's the same in America)

I'm not sure that killing off enemies off humanity is something a government / a state / anyone is able to justify as right - one should not forget that even criminals have dignity (as they are human). But that doesn't mean I agree with releasing Eva Haule from prison...</description>

		<description>The US already has a hit squad. It's under Presidential authority.

The US actually has numerous weapon classes capable of assassination or destroying targets and the general area they are in.

The real problem is plausible deniability, but even there, what is the real point. Are people who hate the US going to hate us less if they know we kill terrorists out of hand? Are people who love the US and hate terrorists, going to stop loving us if they know we kill terrorists out of hand in other countries? *shrugs*

&lt;B&gt;In other words, she’s without remorse, and is continuing her political activism.&lt;/b&gt;

She is not a critic. She is a terrorist. An enemy of humanity as well as an enemy of the USA. Her death is a requirement for the progress of humanity. Her release, an advance for the forces of destruction and despair.

This is the whole point. The people that got rid of the death penalty in Europe didn't stop there. They didn't stop. They went further and they will go further still, until... it all ends I suppose.The death penalty, jails, and whatever are just tools. It is people that matter. It is people that have always mattered.

That's why killing enemies of humanity matter.</description>

		<description>Hey Europe!  You want to come to the U.S. of A.?

Apply by 2015, make the move by 2020.....or stay there and marinate in what you're creating, because the door will be closed, after that date!</description>

		<description>The United States needs a hit squad.  A CIA murder team equipped with the best equipment, training, and support that the wealthiest nation in history can furnish.  And it should be tasked with killing people like this terrorist filth.  Every moment of their lives should be filled with the fear of sudden death.

It wouldn't get us any negative feelings, because a) our enemies already accuse us of such things anyhow, so anyone who dislikes us already believes we probably do assassinate people; and b) people are more impressed by a willingness to do harm than they are by demonstrations of benevolence.  America is good to its friends and enemies, which means they all have contempt for us.  If we kill off critics they might start to show a little respect.</description>
