    So not only will they turn this guy into a martyr, but the first US military execution in many decades will be firing rifles at a guy bound to a wheelchair.

    If this doesn’t cause widespread retribution by religious fanatics/suicide bombers, I’ll be very surprised.

      I would be shocked if that wasn’t the point. Governments have a long history of stoking those with a “radical” agenda in the name of having a bogeyman. See Indian Removal, Pearl Harbor and Japanese Internment, the Crack “Epidemic”, October 6th, etc…
