If Wolfowitz is found guilty of espionage, should he be executed?

[Feanorcurufinwe]

[Cascadian]

1. Jail time but not execution.

If he is found guilty, I would rather see him spend a maximum of 30 years to life in a federal pokie. Executing him will solve nothing but I was never for capital punishment.

8. If he is found guilty,

If he is found guilty... he will also be guilty for the perhaps 15,000 (to date) Iraqi civilian deaths... the deaths of thousands of Iraqi soldiers, and the incredible amount of maimed and crippled American soldiers.... the punishment should fit the crime.... put him in Abu Ghraib.... let him ride around in an unarmored Humvee for a month or two in Baghdad.... ya know... let him experience the fruits of his labor.

2. No, but book him for a lifetime engagement

in the 'Albert Speer' room.

[Mr_Spock]

3. Of course he should be executed. Teach Nazi's to stay out of our country

HE can slick his hair up nice before it is zapped into standing on end - lol.

[louis c]

4. Now that it looks

like folks in the White House are guilty of espionage, they have converted me.

I was never for capitol punishment, but now I'm starting to think like a Texas Red Neck.

[Walt Starr]

5. Yes, absolutely

This administration would leap at any oppurtunity to execute one of its foes. If ANY member of this administration is found guilty of treason, hang their asses.

Sticking a needle in their arm is too good for 'em.

[Sparrow]

6. no way

the death penalty is the most disgusting response to crime.

[elf]

32. the death penalty is so medieval.................

a "grown up" society should do better than that!:kick:

[seemslikeadream]

34. disgusting response to crime, A CRIME

He didn't knock off someone at the 7-11

[rman]

46. respond to terror with terror, respond to crime with crime

that's a neocon thing

an eye for an eye will make the whole world blind

[kikiek]

7. I say yes either way.

[dogman]

9. He should be put to work in the prison barbershop.

Nobody sucks comb better.

[peekaloo]

28. Sweet!

lol

[the Kelly Gang]

10. banish him to Iraq

[DBoon]

11. Make him a greeter at Walmart

Spend the rest of his life experiencing the Bush prosperity.

[kikiek]

14. Now there is a good idea. Or make him a Merry Maid. See how

well he supports his life style on that!

[AntiCoup2K4]

31. Only if the Walmart is located inside a Palestinian village

...one of those that Sharon built a wall around, prefferably.

[bvar22]

12. Death too quick and easy.

A special plexiglass enclosure should be built in the Washington zoo to display these fascists. Extra plexiglass rooms could be added as additional members of the bush* administration are convicted of WAR CRIMES. Small children should be encouraged to laugh and throw excrement at the criminals. A sign over the cage should read:

NEVER FORGET!!!
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU VOTE REPUBLICAN!!!

[Mr_Spock]

13. You're as funny as I am. What's your excuse?

A zombie did it for me - hehe.

[seemslikeadream]

36. If we can have dogs in the picture

maybe I'll change my mind


or maybe Wolfowitz and Perle in this position

[Tight_rope]

38. ROTFLMBAO!!!!!

[InkAddict]

15. Put him in the pokey

Let Michael Riconiscuito at him.

[depakid]

16. A cell beside Jonathan Pollard seems most appropriate

Stranger things have happened....

[Disturbed]

18. Life in prison, no parole.

Hard labor. No minimum security prison. Perle and any of the other PNACers who are found to be guilty.

[bemildred]

17. Cheney and his minions would be a more useful example. nt

[Elidor]

19. He should be sentenced to live in the society he has created: Iraq

And I'm sure he'll be a very popular fellow doing community service work after he serves a long stretch in Abu Ghraib.

Nah, fuck it, fry the bastard. :D

[physioex]

24. You had the right idea, but death naaaaa...

It's to simple....Come on be more creative. Let's consult Lynndie England.... :smoke:

[Nikki Stone 1]

20. We should force Wolfie to live in a gang neighborhood for life

without a weapon. Let him see what his party has done by creating more and more poverty.

[mandelion]

21. He should have some serious punishment

But how much do you want to bet if the Shrub is voted out, he will receive a pardon? I would be willing to bet money that if the Shrub is voted out in November, Shrub will do what he can to have a pardon issued.

Hell he's abused his power long enough for his rich allies; why not for his staff?

[jimshoes]

22. Even though he richly deserves to be executed

It is not how I would punish his detestable ass. Life in prison made to do mundane tasks or something that actually helps the people whose lives he's ruined. And you can't interrogate a dead man. There may come a time when old wolfie might need to clear up some past misdeeds committed by high officials.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

23. Wolfospitz and his greasy hair should rot in Gitmo

i voted no to execution.

[Cuban_Liberal]

25. No.

No one should be executed, EVER; capital punishment is a relic of a barbaric past...

[seemslikeadream]

35. barbaric past has come back to the future

[rman]

45. ...and you want to contribute to the return of the barbaric past?

[Crunchy Frog]

26. In general I'm opposed to the death penalty

but I make an exception in cases of high treason. For that reason, my answer is yes.

[LibDemAlways]

27. Anybody remember

The Falcon and the Snowman - espionage case from the late 70's - later made into a film? Daulton Lee (the Snowman) was sentenced to life for selling classified info to the USSR. His partner, Chris Boyce, received 40 years, but escaped from jail, robbed banks to support himself, was captured, and later resentenced to a total of 65 years.

Today they are both out of prison. Espionage apparently isn't the crime it used to be.

Expect no harsh punishment of any kind for any member of the chimp admin. Too many friends in high places.

An aside - Daulton Lee was in my high school graduating class - as was repuke US Senator George Allen. Lowlife both.

[buycitgo]

42. was Allen as moronically stupid as he seems on TV?

please say yes

actually, you don't have to, cause it's so obvious

how could he have been anything else?

[LibDemAlways]

43. Will respond to your question

in a PM. Check your mailbox.

[Fitzovich]

29. No

However, I think an ideal punishment would be to give him a nice stick and a minefield to clear. I think of it as an nice public service assignment.

30. WATCH THIS VIDEO only takes 3 minutes

http://www.bushflash.com/year.html

Enveloped in a sentiment,
A sound that rushes over me.
Engage an impulse to pretend
I have a faith as pure.
Not forgetting what it means to dream.
Indulging everything.
Entertaining thoughts that I've the strength
Of those I yearn to be.
Cheers and tribute greet the saviours.
Reckless thoughts survive.
Anachronistic and impulsive.

And what will happen?
Will I dream?
I am too scared to close my eyes.
For a second please hold me.
None can change in me these things that I believe.
But I don't know what happens now.
I am too scared to close my eyes.

[seemslikeadream]

33. Now someone please tell me the appropriate punishment

Do you equate this with someone who has killed one human being? I'd really like to know.

[depakid]

37. That's kind of a false dichotomy

and it's also one based on an appeal to emotion-

If Wolfowitz, Perle or anyone else can be proven in a court of law to have violated espionage statutes, then they ought to be subject to the same sentencing structure as others who have been convicted of similar crimes under American law.

International law may be different in some important ways, but last i heard, The Hague wasn't interested in handing out death sentences.

[maggrwaggr]

39. I'll help pull the rope

we all should.

[homelandpunk]

40. Oh! Oh! Let me! Pick me! Me! Oh! Oh! Pick me!

[buycitgo]

41. Jail. .......Lorton

filled with THOSE people Novakula talked about on Friday

[Capt_Nemo]

44. Bump!

the title of this thread just made my day!

[DemonFighterLives]

47. Even though I don't like capital punishment

The idea of getting rid of this goon is quite appealing. He and his PNAC gang have made this country much worse and we probably haven't seen the last of them. Now I need to find out what he is accused of.

[seemslikeadream]

48. It is definitely a legal possibility

Hanssen was charged in a criminal complaint filed in Federal court in Alexandria, Virginia, with espionage and conspiracy to commit espionage, violations that carry a possible punishment of life in prison, and under certain circumstances, the death penalty.

Certain circumstances like agents being killed, the spread of nuclear weapons?
