Poll question: Secret Executions
Do you believe that the United States has secretly executed any person(s) captured and imprisoned (not battlefield deaths) during George Bush's war on terror?

2. Yes.
Whether or not they have, it's how we've come to view and distrust this administration. And loathe it.

7. You have hit on what it is I wanted to see
I realize that all I will get is how people feel, how trustful they are if you want to think of it that way, about this most serious matter. I probably should have explained a bit better that I meant executions as opposed to deaths because of the will of god, fools, or accidents. Someone in authority had to say, 'that one must die' and then captive be put to death purposfully.

11. That's not an execution
I mean, someone said, that person must die and then that person was killed by someone else appointed with the task of killing the named person. Not that some person was held and we acted poorly and then the person died.

14. Continuing torture amounts to execution.

5. No doubt in my mind.



It would be the most expedient way to tidy things up and erase their footprints.

12. Yes.

Torture, death, and incineration. Has a familiar dark ring to it.

13. I don't think they have needed to
They have achieved their end by allowing and ordering torture and I think Bush actually enjoys that more because he likes it when people he doesn't like or doesn't think are worthy are made to suffer. I also think they have used extraordinary rendition to let other people perform the executions (again, usually after torture). I think the words "extradite him" is a substitute for "kill him."

15. Anyone who believes that
it is normal for their head of state to say, 'Bring me the head of Bin Laden', is to be feared also.
