Will justice be served if the Bali bombers get the death penalty?

Human Rights Watch says "there is no clear evidence that the application of the death penalty serves as a more effective deterrent against criminal activity than other forms of punishment". 

That may be so, but we're dealing with a horse of a different color in this case and even still, the older I get the more I believe the death penalty is the easy way out for the worst criminals in our society. 

The Bali bombers killed 202 people!  Only monsters would commit such heinous crimes and more than likely they're not afraid to die either.  So what's the point?

What's even worse, they consider it an honor to die for their bloody cause and probably look forward to their rewards in heaven for their martyrdom.   

They're relatively young too, so instead of giving them the death penalty, solitary confinement for the rest of their miserable lives is the worst form of punishment I could think of.

Don't kill Bali bombers - activists | The Australian

A MAJOR international human rights group today called on Indonesia's president to commute the death sentences of the three Islamic militants responsible for the 2002 Bali bombings.

New York-based Human Rights Watch said the death penalty was not an appropriate punishment for the three, despite condemning the terrorist attacks as "horrific and inexcusable acts".

It has written an open letter to Indonesia's President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono urging him to halt the executions.

"We write to urge you to commute the death sentences of Amrozi bin H. Nurhasyim, Ali Ghufron (aka Mukhlas), and Imam Samudera, three men who are facing imminent execution," Human Rights Watch wrote.

Indonesian officials last week announced the three men will face a firing squad over the attacks in early November.

It has stepped up security at major "vital installations" across the archipelago to guard against possible attacks in the lead up to, and after the executions.
