re previous exchanges with Charles, I thought it worth reporting how this item got selected for British news reports. Perhaps it does not stand out in the US press but to British and perhaps European eyes it looks scandalous. The worst thing is you must be killing innocent people who do not get released. Michael Roy Graham Jr was released after 13 years on death row because of what Louisiana prosecutors called a "total lack of credible evidence". Long term, even the massively culturally self-sufficent and smug USA must start becoming aware of the way this sort of behaviour is regarded in other parts of the world - as barbarity. Since Bush is a active practitioner of the death penalty, would not a civil rights campaign on this issue, put him on the defensive?
