Sorry to disagree full auto but the ammo sanctioned for use in UN assault rifles and police force MP5s and handguns is designed to pierce and run straight through the body causing as little damage as possible apart from hydrostatic shock which knocks the victim to the floor - wounding them without killing them. Other types of ammo (dum-dums for instance) are specifically designed to enter the body and fragment; damaging as much internal tissue and organs as possible and leaving lots of shards of metal in the hope that the victim will suffer crippling injuries or death. A shoot to wound policy was in effect for most Western police forces until suicide bombers came into the equation - there was even a discussion about this on one of the news shows a few days ago, in the last few days and weeks the UK Police chief constables organisation has secured a shoot to kill policy from the government, though really it's a precaution against shooting into the body which could lead to rounds hitting detonators and accidentally setting off a suicide bombers explosives. Even this is unlikely, since detonators are so small, usually able to fit into the palm of your hand - and there aren't many types of explosives that can be detonated simply by passing a bullet through them. Anyway, shoot to wound was until recently the standard order for police marksmen.
I think those are completely different from this situation. I think you're implying that a country could try anyone for a crime against their country, whereas in this case the UK is trying an Afghan man for crimes in his own country, rather than in UK. I think this is fair if the crimes are bad enough. Lets face it, would he be likely to face prosecution at home?
Sadly it seems Mr.Shaw is merely a very good Troll, I was hoping (and thought) he was genuine. "John Gobin Shaw, Leroy Jenkins, Nid05 and Ceicil from Everquest are the Choas Gods taken digital form with forums acting as thier corrupted Realm or 'Aethyr' on the Internet (Which exists parallel to our own physical plane). They scheme, corrupt and even possess unprotected posters, bursting forth into the material world. Fear not citizens, the Inq...Microsoft Corperation will deal with all unregulated internet activities and ensure only the pure applications are ever used or compatible." The Real question is the supposed exhistance of the one grand chaotic being of whom the four aspects form. But more troubling is where does this mysterious "Arxhon" fit into all of this..." I read that somewhere else, and coupled with the seemingly vast amounts of forums he's visited I can't help but agree.

I saw a documentary recently about a slaughter house. I don't know what I was expecting but for some reason i felt revolted - not at what happened there but at the attitudes of the workers. Maybe I'm naive but somehow I expected them to be maybe a little rueful or quiet about their job, but most of them seemed to enjoy it. Though, in fairness the documentary seemed intent on showing the worst aspects of a slaugherhouse. I doubt they showed the whole story.
My dad has tiny little scars on the outside of his hands where he had and extra finger on each one, sadly the humourless teutons at the hospital cut them off. How cool would it be to have six fingers on each hand!? Sometimes he scratches them, saying the fingers 'itch' oO I suppose it's like when people say they can still feel limbs that have been amputated. Sadly I was born with no defects, apart from my brain, obviously.
