Let's say someone goes to jail for brutally killing Mohammad Atta, One of the leaders of the September 11th attack, in January 2001. Then the terrorist plot goes through, everything happens as it did, minus Atta's participation.

A newspaper reveals that Atta was supposed to be one of the hijackers on a flight and they run the story of this guy who killed him It becomes national news, very widespread and some think of him almost as a hero for what he did, killing a hijacker before he could kill us.

Would YOU support pardoning him? Do you think the country should? Would he deserve to be well liked for what he did?

What if the scenarios where he killed Atta were in:
A) A bar fight where they had a "disagreement"
B) Hit and run or Drunk Driving
C) A straight murder or robbery/homicide
D) Killed him because he told part of his plan while drunk
E) Killed him for wishing harm to americans and "wishing he could kill many americans"
