The politics of clemency?

With a terrorist being lined up to be hung, we now hear talk of protests and pleas for mercy for him...sometimes, democracy is good for proving that there are plenty of stupid people around.

If they do want him anyway, why dont we try the following

1. Exchange his life for the chief of Jaish E Mohammed, who was released when the plane was hijacked.

2. Ask any of the political leaders to put themselves in line in exchange...after all, the man is valuable to the country, so are the politicians (according to their own claims) and so it should be a fair deal..

3. Put the politicians face to face with the wifes of the men who lost their lives in that attack, lets see how they beg..

4. Replace the terrorost with any one of the MPs that he was trying to kill (thats my choice of a deal!!!)

Whatsay, people ?

Unfortunately one man's terrorist has become the other man's hero. What can one say. With the kind of reputations that politicians have, not many would agree with the last option.
