Jordan sentences female would-be bomber
AMMAN, Jordan - A court sentenced an Iraqi woman to death Thursday for her role in an al-Qaida-led triple hotel bombing that killed 60 people in Jordan's worst terror attack ever.

IDIOTS !!!

You don't sentence someone to death for deciding not to kill someone ! And you certainly don't sentence a failed suicide bomber to death ! Are you trying to encourage them to go through with it ? Do you really want them thinking "I could try to ditch the bomb and run , but the government will execute me anyways ..."

That's just stupid.
You want these suicide bombers to cut and run and not go through with it. A lesser sentence and some kind of good treatment is clearly mandated in a situation like this , if only by common sense.

The law is supposed to protect the population , and that means convincing the suicide bombers not to go through with it , not telling them they might as well they're dead anyways !


"The harsh verdict today sends a clear message to all terror groups: Jordan's stability and security is a red line that can't be crossed," said Mahmoud al-Kharabsheh, a lawmaker who sits on the parliament's Legal Committee.


The hash verdict today sends a clear message to all terrorist bombers. Once the bomb is strapped on , you might as well do it , if the bomb doesn't get you the government will.

And is that a message you really want to send ?
