If it is accepted that death penalty has little deterrence value in general and negative deterrence value in cases involving sectarian martyrdom seekers, and i do accept it, then i have to ask: does our society value futile vengeance so much that it would be willing to accept material increase in our own casualties in order to exact it?
Hasan alive is nothing. Hasan dead at American hands becomes another arrow in the promotional quiver of the part of Islamic forces most hostile to us.
Which do you want him to be, nothing or another arrow to shot at us?
