It's funny that our bar has lowered so much that when we go from "The U.S. Government said this guy was bad" to a paragraph allegedly explaining a rich criminal history, we change our tone from "woah, wait, that's not a fair trail!" to "well I guess that makes more sense..."

If this guy did all of this shit on U.S. soil and was a while, natural born U.S. citizen he could have slaughtered an entire mall worth of people on Black Friday and we'd /still/ give him a trial and we'd /still/ not execute him (unless it was in a capital punishment state).

People are getting really worn down and used to this whole extra-judiciary killing shit.
