apples and oranges.... i agree though. There is a definate difference between state executions (right or wrong) and acts of murder. You brought up the executions in iraq so i thought it was worth looking at the fact that is accepted in the US, it would be a double standard to say "we can do it but you are evil if you do". it's important to look at whether actions were taken in accordance with any legislation in effect in that juristiction.
