I'm as anti-capital-punishment as they come, but drat it's real hard to justify not executing Nazi high command. I've had the same barstool arguments over whether bin Laden's execution would have been justified (as opposed to his death in the SEAL operation; I'm generally willing to give those folks the benefit of the doubt when they say he was armed*). I suppose it comes down to whether their continued existence would inspire continued lethal violence by others. * I know, wink wink nudge nudge. Even if they did put him on his knees and put two in the back of his head, it would have been morally wrong but I'm not at all sure it would have been ethically wrong. Tough problem for theory to solve, that one.
