KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — A 23-year-old teacher burned in an acid attack on 15 schoolgirls and instructors wants the Afghan government to throw acid on her attackers and then hang them.

They may deserve it but its better to give them no distinction. Just treat them like the ordinary criminals they are and deprive them of any special status.
