	Phil's Blogservations Tuesday, September 11, 2001 Posted by philgomes 7:44 PM My Generation's Own Pearl Harbor: No sense telling you what you already know. The government has ideas of who's responsible. Whomever it is, he should not be killed. No sense stoking the emotional fires of a bunch of cowardly terrorists by giving them a martyr. When we do catch this son of a bitch, my recommendation for punishment is simple. We lock him in a padded room at a secret location, disabling all hope for the nobility of suicide (epoxying rubber on his teeth, for example, to prevent their use in bloodletting). We have a scrambled satellite uplink that broadcasts the output of a jail cell web cam 24/7/365 over the Internet. We will deny this terrorist whatever holy glory that he thinks he'll get from a glorious death. The world, will instead, watch him grow old and rot dishonorably. For those fighting a holy war-- a "jihad" --there is no worse punishment. "Cruel and unusual?" Yes, but so is crashing airliners into major buildings and the Pennsylvania countryside.
