Inhumane methods of execution and class inequalities were abolished during the French Revolution, which imposed the guillotine, seen as a painless and instantaneous method of execution, for all.

 Execution (legal) - Voyager, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Execution is a term used to refer to the termination of life pursuant to a judgment at law (see Capital punishment), and more broadly to killings with legal or quasi-legal justifications given, and to extrajudicial killings.
Formal military executions are typically by firing squad (for violations of orders in wartime or the laws of war) or by hanging (typically for cowardice, or commission of atrocities or other crimes).
Methods of execution which involve, or have the potential to involve, a great deal of pain or mutilation are considered to be torture and unacceptable to many who support capital punishment.

The global rise in executions was "alarming", said Amnesty's UK director Kate Allen, who called the figures from China "genuinely frightening".

It was more likely to be applied to "people who cannot afford lawyers, who cannot get anyone to stand as a witness for them," she added.

The unknown heroes who work tirelessly with the poor and the sick, firemen who risk and lose their lives saving people...these are some of the best of the race, but few people know who they are.
Most of the people you named did not accomplish these deeds alone, their ability to lead, and feed of off general trends and hysteria of the masses, is what made all of these atrocities/good deeds happen.
The "disappeared" (people kidnapped and murdered by the army; "disappeared" is how the government classified them, though they often gave the orders to kill) were in the thousands, repression of opposition was violent to an extreme (think of the Mexican or Columbian governments' treatment of opponents; the Argeninian government was twice as bad).

This form of execution of reprisal measures is accordingly forbidden, If, I however, the investigation on the spot reveals concealed collaboration or a conscientiously passive attitude of certain persons concerning the perpetrators then these persons above all are to be shot as bandit helpers and their dwellings destroyed.

We had a list of people provided by the CIA, and that's because the CIA had good information on people that were involved in the bombing.

 Self-Referential Classes/Linked Objects
In many cases, such methods are written inside classes to use one of their instance variables (referring to the beginning of a linked list) and we need to write a for loop that declares a new variable for traversing the list (leaving the instance variable unchanged).
If the list is not empty, locate its last list node (the only one currently storing null in its next instance variable), then store a reference to the new list node in that next field.
In both cases, the new list node stores null in its next instance variable, because it is becoming the "new" last node in the list.
