Velk's chance in a supernova

Ordinarily, Tom Velk is merely a rather dry shill for Bushco. But this can only be explained as either an audition for a supervisory role at the FBI, or a desperate cry for help:

“Don’t speak to me of justice when I have a sword in my hand." So said one of the great warriors of antiquity. It is unreasonable to think that the niceties of jurisprudence govern behaviour on the battlefield, when the enemy is finally at your mercy. Especially so if, all the while the outcome remained uncertain, you are convinced by good evidence that, should you be the loser, terrible tortures will be your fate...

What about biblical Justice? You have captured a supermonster: he is Pol Pot, Hitler, and Stalin, all rolled up into one. Either your family died in his camps, or you properly are the avenging angel for those who suffered. Don’t you owe it to the dead, owe it to the bereaved, and owe it to humanity to administer some pain before you execute the guilty?

No comment necessary.
