It can be worse he can be sent to Guantamo, the no rights land maintained by the democracy and human rights defender US government, the same that says that waterboarding is a good investigation technique.

Guantanamo is worse than being killed?
I suppose you have found a way to improve the prisoners' lot and at the same time outwit US Congress who is adamant in not letting them set foot in the United States...
But I believe very few people actually agree with you.

Yes, i agree with grand-parent, torture is worse then death. Especially when you know there is no way to escape it, and you will probably spend the rest of you life there.

Even life in prison can well be torture. I'm often surprised at the common thought that prisoners should get life instead of execution, like that's some kind of prize.

It's why I support life sentences over execution. It is the harsher of the two punishments. Bonus effect: you can attempt to rehabilitate an inmate, but not a dead man.

The main reason i am against dead penalty, there's always a possibility to rehabilitation. and dead penalty is always definite,
