2. in texas they hang horse thieves

i can appreciate the logic of encouraging the families to negotiate. not much difference from plea bargaining.

as for wanton cruelty bordering on sadism? maybe we have a lot to work on right here at home.

this is only the eleventh execution in afghanastan this year. they seem to have convicted the right guy and the mass killing is, if any, a crime most would probably consider worthy of the strictest punishment. usa, judged by those standards, might not look very good.
