Iran execution provokes outrage.

 

 

America has the death penalty Fopper. Dozens are exucuted in the South every year.

 

 

Aye but she almost certainly didn't do it, and they executed her despite a stay of execution order by the judiciary (because she was politically inconvenient and they wanted rid).

 

 

Te ex-Mrs P worked on death row in South Carolina for a year if you want to trade miscarriages of justice. ;)

 

They ever execute someone with a judicial stay of execution on them? Especially someone that everyone knew was innocent anyway?

 

Just to get them out of the way?

They mainly execute blacks of lower than average intelligence who didn't do it and normally around election time.

Against a judicial stay of execution? If so then at best they are just as bad as Iran.

I'm not aquatinted with the legal frippery, it's just that at election time some blacks must die.

Aye. But in Iran they regularly can and do just ignore their "law" and do what is wanted.

 

 

There's a world of difference between a state that does things you don't like, but at least (mostly) has due process, and a state that does whatever they are told by some unelected shadow.

 

Even a property conveyubermancer would probably accept that executing someone with a judicial stay of execution was bending the rules a bit. ;)

The bill recently introduced by Joe Lieberman and John McCain -- the so-called "Enemy Belligerent Interrogation, Detention and Prosecution Act" -- now has 9 co-sponsors, including the newly elected Scott Brown.

 

It's probably the single most extremist, tyrannical and dangerous bill introduced in the Senate in the last several decades, far beyond the horrific, habeas-abolishing Military Commissions Act.

 

It literally empowers the President to imprison anyone he wants in his sole discretion by simply decreeing them a Terrorist suspect -- including American citizens arrested on U.S. soil.

 

The bill requires that all such individuals be placed in military custody, and explicitly says that they "may be detained without criminal charges and without trial for the duration of hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners," which everyone expects to last decades, at least.

 

It's basically a bill designed to formally authorize what the Bush administration did to American citizen Jose Padilla -- arrest him on U.S. soil and imprison him for years in military custody with no charges.
