White House: Death Penalty Deters Crime

So, we all pretty much know that Bush is a lyin' kind of a guy. But damn - does ideology always have to trump reality - this whole 'deterrent' business w/r/to the death penalty is totally unfounded. At best, the deterrent is a wash - when including the threat of life imprisonment w/o the possibility of parole. Moreover, some studies have placed administration of the DP error-rates as high as 9% - so out of every 10 people murdered by the state, 1 of them is probably innocent.

Go Justice!

Though I guess this is to be expected from a self-proclaimed born-again christian, who has murdered over 150 people by the stroke of a pen. Isn't there a 'commandment' that speaks to this --- hey, it's your religion, not mine.

However, the Death Penaly is pretty much small potatos when you take into account the 2,000 U.S. soldiers who've been killed because of this administration - and let's not forget the 100,000 Iraqi civilians.

Bush is one murderin' kind of guy. But hey, God Bless America.....and no place else.
