THE EUROPEAN EYE MEETS THE AMERICAN THUMB:

Executions May be Carried Out at Gitmo (AP, 2/13/08)

If six suspected terrorists are sentenced to death at Guantanamo Bay for the Sept. 11 attacks, U.S. Army regulations that were quietly amended two years ago open the possibility of execution by lethal injection at the military base in Cuba, experts said Tuesday.

Any executions would probably add to international outrage over Guantanamo, since capital punishment is banned in 130 countries, including the 27-nation European Union.

We have a due respect for the opinions of others.

Thank you for your opinion, Europe. Now go roll your hoop.

They care more about convicted terrorist-murderers than their victims.

I think the convicted murderers should be sent to serve their sentences in French jails.

It would be poetic justice to have it done on Bush's watch with Cheney doing the injections by air gun.
