Nonsense. The motivation for the killings can't be justified by any rational person. Even those who oppose the death penalty understand the rationale behind what is taking place, especially when viewed in light of the law.

Just because something is law, doesn't make it right. The law to Islamic fundamentalists is that they can take whatever action necessary to help their cause. That certainly doesn't make it right.

Abu Gharaib could be described that way if it were used exclusively for torture and all staff there were sex offenders.

Why does it have to be used exclusively for that? I doubt if the "slaughter houses" were used exclusively for slaughter.

Why try to minimize the murder of completely innocent civillians?

Sorry, but if someone is contracted on behalf of an occupying force, they are no longer civilians. You might agree with the occupation, but just like the war supporters say when bad things happen to Iraqi civilians - it's war. If someone chooses to be there as part of the occupation, they lose their status as a civilian.
I don't agree with summary executions any more than I do the war in general. If we are going to term the places where people who are part of an occupying force are executed as "slaughter houses", then lets call the occupying force a "slaughtering force".
