It's essentially nothing to do with justice, it's about as bad as the decapitation videos, it's just a propaganda murder. A killing for publicity and to kill your opponent's will to fight.

Alas, that is how wars work. The winner writes in the history books that the loser was an evil murdering bastard who deserved to die for his terrible acts, and the loser is in no position to object because the loser is dead. The winner then claims that the war was the loser's fault in the first place, and the loser is directly to blame for the half a million civilian casualties of the operation.
