Death Penalty

Friends,
Now the death penalty at Guatanamo. You might note that the trials now have no chance of being completed by the time W leaves us. I have no problem with hanging those responsible, but it must be done in the light of day and in accordance with the rule of law. Our United States courts have been held as inspiration to many in the world and yet now we change rules (no habeas corpus). This is a fiasco. The only thing good about this is that it will bring war crimes into the world's eye. Maybe the world will bring W to task for his war crimes. Bush's legacy is torture, war crimes, and lies. I wish Barbara would rush into the White House and grab that fucker by the ear and take him home, wash his mouth out with soap (lye) and ground him for 343 days.

Peace and Love,
Rev O
