It's interesting that I wouldn't worry if he was killed in an attack on his base but I'm against the death penalty. Very strange.

Very strange, indeed, Donut. That is what i was getting at in my question.
As for the Martyr aspect, I am not so sure that he would be any less of a Martyr if he was imprisoned. Seems to me that in such a situation people could rally to the name of the great hero being held by the Infidels. I doubt it would make much of a difference either way.
