Hmm. I am kind of torn. I don't like the idea that the state may be killing innocent people, but in certain circumstances with absolutely certain guilt, I think it can be a good option. Not as a deterrent or a cheap alternative, but I can see circumstances in which it might be preferable to alternatives.
I would more generally advocate that one only leave one entrance into their mind(reason), and keep the rest of it rather closed, as it is one hell of a lot easier to shovel shit in than it is to get it out.
If the evidence and reason for you to believe something isn't really any better than the reason you should believe some rural farmer from Arkansas got anally probed by interstellar visitors, then you probably shouldn't.
