I don't agree with the death penalty full stop. But in this case it's even worse - it seems like a ploy by the Chinese to test our government. They wanted that man dead, simply to see how strong our reaction would be. I'm betting if they get away with this, it will psychologically open the door for the Chinese to get away with more without fear of retribution. Which of course makes the fact they took a man's life cruel, calculating and callous. Of course, I could be wrong - but that doesn't change the fact that what they did is disgusting.
