The terrorsists made a choice to commit their evil acts and deprive others of freedom, life, and comfort.... so we (the rest of the world) must make sure that we do not make the same choice and deny others those rights. The terrorists must be caught and subject to the full power of the law, so that people in the region see that the law has power and applied equally.. now if they are tried under Iraqi or US law the maximum penalty is death so I don't see the problem with staying in the bounds of the law. The problem arises if they are captured and tried under the law of the only other main partner in the coalition.. the UK does not support the death penalty and hasn't for years even in the face of terrorism.
