One last eyepoke to the BDS crowd as a nice parting gift would be sweet.
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.Oh, would it ever. But since we'll be electing a president who will "restore our image" around the globe, why should anyone worry?
Any executions would probably add to international outrage over Guantanamo, since capital punishment is banned in 130 countries, including the 27-nation European Union.
Conducting the executions on U.S. soil could open the way for the detainees' lawyers to go to U.S. courts to fight the death sentences. But the updated regulations make it possible for the executions to be carried out at Guantanamo.Ha! CCR and ACLU foiled again!
Question: Would a President Obama or Rodham be dumb enough to commute a death sentence to life in prison?
