I do not feel sorry for him. He is responsible for his actions no matter what led to them. I do wish to understand how he got from being some mother's baby to this point in his life. "Know thine enemy".
As for "being forced to eat pork" -- he forfeited his claim of being a Muslim when he committed mass murder. So it doesn't matter what he eats. I know lots of pork eaters who are far better Muslims than he.
However, he must be given a fair trial, according to the laws of the country in which he committed his crimes, and he should not be tortured, but simply and cleanly executed if/when he is convicted.
A just society does not decide that the quality of the judicial system is calibrated according to the heinousness of the crime in question. A fair legal system will apply the same procedures because they are fair and just in all cases. So too the inmates at Guantanamo should be given trials. Even Jeffrey Dahmer got a trial.
