Kemper now:
No.  I fully understood what bboyminn was getting at: Kreacher is a 
threat and should be eliminated (if he's not dead already by 
Dumbledore's wand or order).   I can see where killing him would be 
easy and possibly necessary, what I don't see is Dumbledore making 
the killing of Kreacher okay which is what bboyminn was originally 
suggesting.   I CAN see another member of the order execute Kreacher 
without DD's authority (Mad Eye and Snape come to mind and that would 
be darkly funny to see the two accidentally stumble upon each other 
at HQ to kill Kreacher.)  
 
Back to Rebecca:

with. 

Kemper again:
Killing Kreacher is no different from killing known DEs.  They are 
both dangerous to the Order, to the Wizarding World and to the Muggle 
World. 
I did notice that Dumbledore *does* something in the DoM.  Notice 
that he didn't kill any of them though he could have and that they, 
the DEs, have committed heinous and, mostly, unpunished crimes for a 
long time; some of those crimes would result in government sanctioned 
executions in few (or one?) first world nations. 

Again, what I'm saying is that DD would never allow Kreacher's 
execution.  If Kreacher is to be executed, it will be by another 
member behind DD's back.

Hope my ideas are clearer,
Kemper
