52. I wasn't with you until this:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A1907-2003Jul2?language=printer

William Cohen: …..In all my years writing about the death penalty, I have never heard any politician admit that he would countenance the death of an innocent person in order to ensure that the guilty die. Dean is maybe the first to acknowledge the unacknowledgeable. For that, I suppose, he ought to be congratulated. But by equating the murder of one individual by another with the murder of an innocent person by the government -- the unpreventable with the preventable -- he has casually trashed several hundred years of legal safeguards.

OMFG..................... If Cohen is put off by Dean...........

I am firmly against the death penalty in general and disagree with Clarks stand on it. But this? this is grotesque.
