Jordanian government threatens to kill all Islamic State captives if their pilot is executed
American Thinker ^ | 01/31/2015 | Rick Moran

The deadline has passed for a presumed hostage deal between Islamic State and Jordan that would have seen the release of an Iraqi woman terrorist by the Jordanians in exchange for a royal air force pilot and a Japanese civilian held by Islamic state. Jordan says that negotiations are continuing but are demanding proof of life before they release the terrorist.

In fact, Islamic State has refused to say if they would release the pilot even if the terrorist were set free.

Now the Jordanians are saying that if their pilot is executed, they will speed up the judicial process and execute all IS prisoners in their custody.

Now THAT is the way to deal with hostage takers who demand ransom. Giving them what they want will only encourage more bad behavior.

Jordan spends a lot of money to train and equip their small but effective military.

Oh my!

Well, in the words of an Administrative Law professor "Everyone is entitled to Due Process. The question is, what process is due?"

If IS kills the pilot, Jordan must follow through.

If we give Jordan any aid, Obama will terminate it.

They boast that they love death, but they wouldn’t love it so much if they were excluded from Paradise. They use our laws and customs against us. Let’s return the favor.

and you guys think ISIS will be persuaded by this?

they respect NO ONE’s life.

they could care less - they strap suicide bombs on their own kids -

Having their guys executed would only be looked upon as a plus - more ‘martyrs’ names to use for recruiting

“Our military courts should do the same, and threaten burial after accompanied by anointment in lard.”

This is how we should go about “closing Gitmo!”

RE: Have we executed anyone in GITMO?

I think we’ve killed a few who were released and returned to fight us. So what’s the point? Just kill them in Gitmo (less expensive too ).

I think they might, and if they aren’t it doesn’t matter.

The fact that a state has threatened this is another glimmer of hope for civilization.
