In the news today is an interesting update to my previous post on the death penalty. Apparently, President Bush was rather upset about the video of Saddam Hussein’s death. He was previously the governor of Texas, which has a reputation as the most active capital punishment justice system in the United States. I am not sure how much of his publicized reaction is real and how much of it is politics, but either way I am happy that he’s come out publicly against the taunting and so forth that went on.
