MY THOUGHTS:
At least, BBC could have noted: "Texas executes more people than any other state in the U.S. On average, Texas juries condemn someone to death about once a week. Increasingly, Texans are voicing concern about our state's use of the death penalty. Some Texans oppose capital punishment for religious or moral reasons. Others support capital punishment in principle but worry that it might be applied unfairly in Texas. In recent years, many Christian denominations and Jewish groups have called for abolition of the death penalty in the US. Most religious calls for abolition identify capital punishment as inconsistent with Judeo-Christian beliefs and values."-
Furthermore, I would recommend that the BBC should do a whole WORLD HAVE YOUR SAY program should ask listeners around the world:
If George W. Bush and Richard Cheney are found guilty of war crimes or capital crimes in their lying-bloody wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, should they receive capital punishment?"-
Now, that is the kind of BBC programming that one needs to hear coming out of Austin.
Don't you agree?
Perhaps, Cheney and Bush would eventually be forced to seek out help from the Texas Innocence Network--unlike their victims ever received.
