I don't necessarily agree that they deserve it.
Well, without anyone saying otherwise, what else are we supposed to think? Distractions are one thing. Knowingly putting civilians in the line of fire is something else. Maybe the execution of this could have been different.
We're not mind-readers. We don't know why they're there, and unless we do, I'm not willing to throw them to the wolves as easily as the rest of you might be. There's something to be said for rehabilitation, you know. Indoctrination. Not everyone has the willpower to break free. Maybe people are doing what they can to survive. Maybe we could use their knowledge. There might be an in somewhere, if we actually bother to look instead of writing them all off.
That's good, at least. The rest of this feels like a bloody mess, but at least we have that.
