Even so, I am still sorrowing for Tim........yes, what he did was evil (therefore he might be....??), but for a man to know the hour of his death.........

I do sort of understand his feelings; that to die will stop the horror of waiting, and that to die is perhaps better than 50+years in prison, BUT--I could not give the injection/pull the switch, and I certainly could not/would not watch even if my child had been killed.

Killing Tim won't make those people alive again, and it certainly won't be a deterrent for other terrorists. It will only keep Tim from doing it again, which he might have done.
