This story did not get a lot of play in the press:
Bush is changing the rules to speed up the pace of executions. Instead of the courts passing on whether or not an execution is proper, that power would go to the Attorney General.
And we all know how fair and ethical ol' Lyin' and Forgetful Alberto is.
Let us not forget that Bush is in favor of executing everyone he possibly can. The mentally retarded? Fry them. Bush does not care if someone may be innocent, if the trial was flawed, if the attorney defending the accused was incompetent, it just doesn't matter to Bush. All he wants to do is see people die and the more, the better.
I think the argument can be made that Bush is basically a passive serial killer. Worse, he is a cowardly one, for rather than do the dirty deed himself, he manipulates the levers of power to make the government kill for him. Giving Bush the power of life and death means giving Bush the power of death. Our president is both bloodthirsty and a coward.
He may also be the first president to be tried for war crimes, but that's a topic for another time.
