I agree with this as a basic principal.

Ok. I see your point and I agree that this would be a much more legitimate way of correcting this problem. I guess I am backing off my original statement. This would require a strengthing of international laws, which will be much resisted by the US. At least with this administration. I also hope for sometime in the (I hope not too) distant future for the death penalty for any offense to be considered a violation of human rights.
