Capital Punishment

The ACLU of Montana has itself all in a snit about Capital Punishment. There is some feeling among them that if a man is to be put to death it ought to be “humane”. They seem to be saying that there is no proof that the criminal does not feel pain before death occurs. That, in some way, the barbiturate which is supposed to deaden pain is not sufficient and is not administered by someone qualified in medicine. The case in point at this time is that of a man who has been on death row for many years and has given up the battle to delay his execution further. I say, “Let him die.” I asked a medical friend who is a member of ACLU the other day about their position and he said in effect that he was not a part of that action. My point is that the ACLU doesn’t seem to take into consideration the suffering the murderer placed on the three he killed and the continued pain to those who survive. Maybe leathel injection is to kind for a guy like this. Even Saddam has asked for the firing squad.
