"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind" - Gandhi I do not see how torturing him will benefit society. It might appease the few who do not forgive. Torturing him is not the solution to the problem Personally, I believe he should have rotted in jail. He will die anyway, right? What harm can he do in jail...seriously. However, I do not know how secure he would be in jail in Iraq. He would've been busted out by fanatics. More innocent people would've been killed in the process. Granted they died afterwards anyways, but at least he's gone for good. Not if he was in jail in America. I suppose you're right though. No torture though.
