I think it is an extremely stupid move. It puts us on the level of Iran which executes their people in public. The USA condemns that and then now says that they plan on doing it.

1. I don't see how it will be have much effect in slowing down terrorism. Some of those folks want to be martyrs.

2. It won't be that shocking to the US public because seeing people shot on tv and movies is an ongoing thing. Plus this will be a clean shot, not the torture that people are used to seeing in movies.

3. And then there is the 'ick" factor. Are we really going to do this in public?
