The same thought occured to me when I saw it too. Wonder what kind of backlash they received.

>>>>I had no sympathy for this terrorist scumbag Kasab and in fact think he should have been done away with right after the horror. However, those who signed the petition may well have done that out of opposition to the death penalty. The term 'traitors' seems like over-reach.

Breasty-beauty, you've now crossed a line with this post.

Advocacy against the death penalty is a article of belief for many people, just as advocacy of freedom of speech might be for some or the advocacy of castration for rapists might be for some others. You're free to agree or disagree with that advocacy and do so forcefully, as we often do at SUCH.

But just because you disagree with a viewpoint, it does not give you (or other cretinous nutjobs out there) the right to publish the names and email-ids of those people and violate their privacy. By posting this here, you're a full participant in a despicable witch-hunt and no different from lowly chaddi mobs. Shame on you.

These people signed the petition and sent it to the President, not to some newspaper or website for publication of their names and email-ids. Putting up their names and email-ids on the web with the hashtag "Traitors Exposed" is an invitation to every nutjob out there to target them with hatemail or worse.

Your action of posting it here serves the exact same despicable purpose and no other - if there is, please educate me. But far from naming and shaming them, it is really a reflection of the scum that you are.

You have resorted to name calling!

Don't regret in re-posting public information.

Make a guess why everyone here is using fake handle(s)?

A+.

i'm happy OBL is dead, but there is no question of a death penalty because he wasn't brought to trial. it was probably inevitable that he would go the way he did.

note to self: when talking to death penalty opponents, it's important to remember they dont oppose state sanctioned killing of civilians/enemy combatants/thugs etc in the 'heat of the battle' aka encounter. they just dont like it when they're taken to court and sanctioned to die after a nice meal.

bullet to the head from soldiers in middle of night - A OK,
noose after due process in front of courts and jurors - NO NO!

alrighty then

the dripping sarcasm aside, there really was no plan to bring OBL to trial, the misgivings of death penalty opponents notwithstanding.

so there are no absolutes then? it's ok for OBL to get the bullet to the head but not the noose? or you wouldnt want a state sanctioned bullet to the head or noose for anyone?

it's ok for kasam to be shot after/while surrendering but not ok for the state to murder him after due process and deliberation? I never understood the stand that death penalty opponents take - I think deep down they would a catch and release program for criminals.
