I’d heard that Iraq reinstated the death penalty, but haven’t read too much about it thus far. This snappy little blog post from Wonkette caught my eye though:
Yesterday, the interim Iraqi government announced a permanent solution to crime: They’re reinstating capitol punishment. Hey, it’s an unelected, unaccountable government without a functioning justice system and the ability to kill whomever it deems guilty! That seems familiar somehow.
Yes indeedy.
