In addition to BlueCat's points. This has been studied and debated ad nausem but what they always find is that capital punishment is not a deterent in the US. Great, maybe things worked better over in China, but unless you're suggesting we "streamline" the justice system, guilty parties still have a number of rights and protections (chances to appeal, etc). It costs the taxpayers more to execute an individual than to put him away for life.

I'd also ask you how many of those people who 'disappear' are guilty of the crimes they're convicted of? Its pretty easy for a brutal government to rule by fear but maybe it's not a system we should be looking to in order to solve our problems.
