Now there is a search on for one of the terrorists, I can totally understand that many wold prefer to see him dead.
It would be no great loss and indeed it may be the only way to deal with him in the end.
Some say that regardless they are better off being killed choice or no choice.
In this case though, if it is possible it would be better of not.
Same with 'Mohammed Emwazi '.
Dhaj posted earlier that he doesn't think the 'it will make them martyrs other wise' line is justification for taking them alive, I agree.
As far as I am concerned when you are dead you are dead, and Emwazi is where he was before he was born.
He is nothing.
Any thoughts of martyrdom are their fantasies alone.
Do I.S even remember who Bin Laden was?
Or any of the others over the past few months and years?
As saints, they have very little shelf life.
Had Emwazi been captured though, he would not have felt half as brave as he did.
He may even have blabbed like a babby, we may have learned something, who knows.
Did he want to die?
Maybe not, so would have had nothing left but his life.
It could have come in useful.
Same with Salah Abdeslam, on the run from Paris.
Obviously did not want to die like the others, scurried off, even kept calm for the border guards, so someone perhaps penetrable.
