Death Penalty for terrorists?

I read the article on the death penalty for terrorists, and I was disturbed.. Not by the need for such laws, but by the worry that the law is functional when the perpetrators are actually caught. Laws such as this lead me to wonder how to make them effective and fair. After all, you don't want to be accused and put under the microscope. The stress of an investigation could make it worse than the death penalty itself!

Just like my previous post on punishment of gangsters, I think death is an over glorification of the terrorist. In the eyes of their countrymen, they are matyrs! Instead, the punishment should be innovative enough to create real pain.

For instance, to diffuse the terrorist abilities, just send their leaders pictures of them shaking hands with political leaders of the country they intended to bomb... Then, take lots of pictures of them laughing while on a tour of the local zoo, or Sentosa (of course you spike them with nitrous oxide)... Smiling, you can then send their photos and videos back to their home country, with more consequences to them than to your countr...
