Pakistani Executed For CIA Murders

Some officials warn of a terroristic backlash

I know nothing about the case. This is the first time I've heard of it. Apparently it's a big deal in Pakistan:

Hundreds of people on Thursday protested here against the scheduled execution of Mir Aimal Kasi in Virginia.

Protesters started their march from the Kasi Fort on the Khudadad Road and rallied towards the Quetta Press Club where some leaders expressed disquiet. Throughout their march, they chanted slogans against the Pakistani government and demanded Mr Kasi be released.

Voice of America:

Mir Aurangzeb is a lawyer in Aimal Kasi's hometown, Quetta. He says the American government should have reconsidered the death sentence.

"Generally, people have their grievances against the American government," Mr. Aurangzeb said. "In the opinion of people over here in his hometown, they say it would be a very good gesture if he is not executed and if he is pardoned, or if his execution is converted into life imprisonment, then people would have good feelings about the American government and about the Americans."

Subvert our system of justice in order to make Pakistan happy? Hell no.
