Alright, some crimes make even a liberal (small "l") like me agree with the death penalty. This is about as inhuman as can be imagined.
Kidnappers kill Mexican child with acid injection; 5 suspects arrested
MEXICO CITY - Kidnappers killed a five-year-old boy by injecting him with acid after his family sought police help - a new low even for Mexico's brutal kidnapping gangs.
Mexico City Attorney General Miguel Mancera said Monday that assailants injected the acid into the boy's heart and buried him on a hill outside the capital, a death that showed the plague of kidnappings for ransom afflicts the working class as well as the wealthy.

No, James. In a civilized society the death penalty is never called for under any circumstances. If you want to let feelings of revenge dictate sentences we start down a very evil and dangerous road.
These types are normally not dealt with by trial. They tend to be executed while "resisting arrest."
The Brits are quite experienced at topping terrorists well after they've been subdued. Remember the Iranian embassy attack in London several years back?
For these monsters, however, a Mexican jail would probably be ideal. They wouldn't have a very nice time inside one of those and quickly might wish they'd given themselves an acid shot while they had the chance.
