Every day we delay the death penalty on the Gitmo detainees we give the prisoners another day of the gift of life. Why we should want to give Khalid Sheik Mohammad a gift startles me. He murdered three thousand people and grief-struck thousands of their relatives. Our treating him to more life sounds like a form of insanity. Obama boasts that’s the American way. Is it the American way to disrespect our citizens and give murderers freebees? Is it the American tradition to do unto others better than they have done unto you? The scales of justice tip to the side of the despicable.
