Report: Islamic State Executes Jordanian Pilot
2015-01-03
Hat tip to Ebbomosh Hupemp2664, who posted it in the thread here.
[ArutzSheva] The Islamic State terror organization has executed Jordanian pilot 1st Lt. Mu’ath al-Kaseasbeh, who was taken prisoner in Syria last week, according to a report this morning (Friday) by the Lebanese Al Mayadeen news agency.

Last week the Islamic State boasted it had brought down a fighter jet over northern Syria, taking the pilot prisoner. While Jordanian sources confirmed the report, US sources denied it, saying that the plane had crashed.
Ebbomosh Hupemp2664 also noted attempts to rescue the lieutenant, which is probably why he was quickly killed instead of the process dragged out for maximum destroyed hopes.

#4  let's hang them from the nearest lamppost.

I prefer wrapping them in pigskin, then shooting them with bullets dipped in pig fat.

#3  Theoretically, we should be able to shoot them all on sight and when captured.

The often miss-quoted Geneva Convention does allow the summary execution of non-uniformed combatants from non-sovereign organizations.

#2  Think we let the Kurds carry out that policy.

Also no "torture" or storage problems! Win Win for the world.

Except let's hang them from the nearest lamppost.
