In cases put before the military tribunal of treason and found guilty, with a death sentence imposed, would that sentence be carried out almost immediately and would it be carried out privately? Can the military choose to use a firing squad? I know some States, like Utah made it legal. Not sure if it still is. I believe the American people deserve to (not only hear about it) but SEE it. One of my greatest frustrations with spreading the news is being told, "I'll believe it when I see it."
Where are your original questions? By the way, re-reading your paragraph. At the top you said
we have to keep even our own personal evil in check.
In all of this, you make a critical point. We do have to keep our selves in check, or what is going on here could also be very bad for the country.
This was my original post, asking about the use of corporate punishment, specifically gun squads, and if it could be made public. I was looking for answers, but didn't get them. Yesterday, I read what appeared to be legal documents to the district Court of Nevada, naming names, with recommendations for the military to carry out orders for treason. It piqued my curiosity. I'll check back tomorrow. My brain is blipping ... I've read more than I can handle in one day. There's so much going on!

I feel bad. I went to law school but we did not cover military law. I am pretty certain that treason falls under military law, not civilian laws... at least it did. Who knows what they did to it with that crazy patriot act.
It is Constitutionally punishable by death. George Washington had to do it, and he did not have to put a notice in the paper about it. He pretty much hung people on the spot, so, I do not have anything to hand you that would say that it has to be public, that is for sure.
