The executions at dawn Wednesday came just hours after Islamic State militants released a video that purportedly showed the captured Jordanian fighter pilot being burned alive in a cage.
Jordan vowed a swift and lethal response. Hours later, government spokesman Mohammed al-Momani said that two prisoners, Sajida al-Rishawi and Ziad al-Karbouli, were executed early Wednesday.
We're for freedom of speech everywhere. We're for freedom to worship everywhere. We're for freedom to learn... for everybody. And because in our time, you can build a bomb in your country and bring it to my country, what goes on in your country is very much my business. And so we are for freedom from tyranny, everywhere, whether in the guise of political oppression or economic slavery or religious fanaticism.
That most fundamental idea cannot be met with merely our support. It has to be met with our strength. Diplomatically, economically, materially. And, if Pharaoh still don't free the slaves, then he gets the plagues or my cavalry, whichever gets there first.

You want to burn people alive? No problem.. I don't want to hear bitching when a JDAM takes out 100 of your fellow cult losers like one of God's own lighting bolts.

I'd love to see a MOAB drop on them. But I guess that can't happen without killing innocent people in the process.
I'm more of a septic, but how easy would it be to fake something like this if you we're a major world power? I haven't watched it yet, but I hear the production value is top notch.

Considering they burned the pilot a month before trying to make the exchange with the Jordanian government. ISIS are not Muslims..
They are cowards who are failures at life who defile the Muslim religion in hopes they can somehow self deny that what they are doing is not murder and somehow justified religious actions.
For the most part I am in favor of due process but even these people I think are beyond that type of redemption. You want to burn people alive? No problem.. I don't want to hear bitching when a JDAM takes out 100 of your fellow cult losers like one of God's own lighting bolts.

in this particular case I think these extremists have accomplished the elusive long lost dream of the middle east -
Uniting the countries against a common threat.
