barry’s little minions are everywhere. This is Robert Gibbs on the State of the Union with John King. I keep waiting for the day someone asks him: Robert, could you please tell me out loud one original thought – not something that has been recycled for the last 5 years? Hopefully, Ms Crowley will be the one. Her interview with barry was the best I’ve seen.
Gibbs says KSM will be executed – King asks where – Gibbs says he should be tried in NYC – King asks where – Gibbs says he will be executed.
If he is going to be executed it ain’t going to be in NY because capital punishment was ruled unconstitutional by the NY State court in 2004.

GIBBS: Plan A is for KSM…KSM is going to meet justice and he’s going to meet his maker.
KING: In a federal courtroom or in a military commission?
GIBBS: He will be brought to justice and he is likely to be executed for the heinous crimes that he committed in killing–in masterminding the killing of 3,000 Americans. That you can be sure of.
King asks again whether it would be a civilian federal court or a military tribunal.
GIBBS: The AG believe the best way to do this is in an American courtroom.
And then he goes back to the Bush administration. The only time they refer to BUSH in a positive light is to justify the trying of KSM in NYC. [Mitch McConnnell followed and said it was a mistake.]
King tries again – NYC, federal court or military tribunal?
GIBBS: We are talking with the authorities in New York. We understand their logistical concerns and their security concerns that are involved. We have been discussing that with them. As you know they were originally supportive of this. We want to see this man tried and brought to justice in the place in which the crime was committed. We’ll work with them and-and-and come to a solution that we think will bring about justice for those that lost loved one on such a horrific day on 9-11. I think again KSM will be executed for the crimes that he committed.
And the answer was?

WARNING: GRAPHIC discussion of execution
Methods include: Decapitation · Electrocution · Firing squad · Gas chamber · Hanging · Lethal injection · Shooting · Stoning · Torture · Breaking wheel · Boiling · Flaying · Crushing · Slow slicing · Disembowelment · Sawing · Necklacing · Dismemberment · Burning · Impaling · Crucifixion (Christian & Muslim) · Burying alive
Flaying – exactly what it sounds – is what the Japanese did to Marine Staff Sgt Billy Lynch in 1942. He is the only “China Marine” POW left unaccounted for. Attempts will be made to bring him home this Spring. Story worth reading – not graphic. It reminds one of how many Americans have died horrific deaths to allow our Freedoms to continue.
Sawing seems to have been used for maximum sadistic pleasure. The person was hung from his ankles and a manual saw was used to slice him in half starting at the genital region. Because of the positioning of his head, the blood would continue supplying his brain – ensuring consciousness until he completely bled out.
Necklacing entails forcing a rubber tire filled with gasoline around a victim’s chest and arms and setting it on fire. Still happening in the world. South African photojournalist Kevin Carter was the first to photograph public necklacing in South Africa in the mid-1980s. [Do not go looking for these photos. Trust me.]
He said:
I was appalled at what they were doing. I was appalled at what I was doing…The question that haunts me is ‘would those people have been necklaced, if there was no media coverage?
The answer is yes and they are still doing it. The haunting never left him. He received the received the Pulitzer Prize for an extremely disturbing photo of a starving Sudanese child stalked by a vulture and two months later he took his own life. He was 33.
There is no end to the evil masked by the civilized phrase “man’s inhumanity to man”.
