Doc, most of the time I agree with you, but on this one your behaving as someone with the emotions of an hysterical housewife.
It is so easy to say that some people should die. Actually when you think about it, I can give you a list of people that don't deserve to live, on one of which probably most of us will also be.
Two points: 1 it is just some theoretical discussion. A completely proven case almost does not exist, and we all know that many governments among which yours, doesn't even need a fully proven case, but settle for (a lot) less....and also doesnot have many problems with sentencing to death retards.
Death penalty would be an option when there would be a perfectly working justice system....but since those don't exist...don't go there.
2; politics play a to important role here. Some governments just use death penalty to get rid of political oponents. The same as accusing someone of terrorism is a great way to get rid of somebody. People demonstrating in Belarus are now considered as terrorist....and are so indeed put on the same level as Al Qaeda members......while their only "crime" is demonstrating against a dictator.
I can understand your emotions but I think it is better to use your sense of justice in other ways than advocating death penalty. Death penaltys are something for totalitarian states, and I consider myself lucky, we don't have it where I come from.

No. You do not understand my emotions on this subject, and I doubt you ever will.
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
