Possibly time to let your defence lawyers go when the appeals get down to this level.

"[D]efence lawyers argued that the bombers should not face execution by firing squad - which they said did not guarantee instant death and would amount to torture.

"But earlier this month the constitutional court rejected the argument that they should be beheaded instead."

Texas executes 400th prisoner, as the EU protests "There is no evidence to suggest that the use of the death penalty serves as a deterrent against violent crime and the irreversibility of the punishment means that miscarriages of justice, which are inevitable in all legal systems, cannot be redressed."

Top Ten most dangerous children's toys: "[T]he child on the motorcycle was then taken on a hellish, intestine-twisting scream ride. At one point, he or she would face choices unthinkable except in an Evel Knievel meets Knightrider crossover episode: Do I jump? Or do I ride it out and see if I can clear the gully? Is it sentient? Can it be reasoned with?" (danny yee)

"When the IRA used to cross the Irish border to kill British soldiers--which it did--did Blair and his cronies blame the Irish Republic's government in Dublin? Did Blair order the RAF to bomb Dublin power stations and factories? Did he send British troops crashing over the border in tanks to fire at will into the hill villages of Louth, Monaghan, Cavan and Donegal? Did Blair then demand an international, NATO-led force to take over a buffer zone--on the Irish, not the Northern Ireland side, of the border?"

In the late eighties, Alan Clarke made a film about the troubles in Ireland called Elephant that showed a series of killings, with no story or plot, intended to illustate the horror of it all. This 'Terrorist Sniper Propaganda' film from Iraq unintentionally serves the same purpose.

Death throws of death row, or business as usual? U.S hangs 1000 victim since reinstating death penalty, and an Australian drug smuggler is hung in Singapore. Neither were innocent, but there is dminishing support for the death sentence in the U.S, especially if life meant life without parole.

An inmate's contact with his defence team is believed to raised his IQ above the threshold for which the U.S can execute someone with learning difficulties. That's got to really suck. I wonder if he could argue that his defence team has prejudiced his defence? He is due to die on December 2nd by lethal injection.
