Your too late Carl with your idea. Gen. "Black Jack" Pershing, during his stint as Commander of U.S. Army forces in the Phillipines prior to WW1, did something simular. After the Moros' ( a Muslum rebel group ) attacked and killed a number of US soliders, he had rounded up about 20 of the rebel leaders. 18 were tried, found guilty, and executed. It was done by a fireing squad, that dipped their rounds in lard. And then the bodies were wrapped in pig skin. And sent home with the 2 remaining survivors as a warning. The Army had no trouble after that.

A bit of triviel history that I came across during research for a history class when I was in school way too many years ago.
