Will Death Penalty Reform Hurt the Abolition Cause?
That's the concern of Wendy Kaminer in The Switch in today's New York Times Magazine. She is one of a growing number of journalists tracking the public's decreasing support for the death penalty. By the way, we are up to 107 people released from death row after being found factually innocent of their crimes.
We also like Wendy's July 15, 2002 commentary in American Prospect --called Ashcroft's Lies that points out the foolhardiness of throwing more money and power at the FBI, given its abysmal record. Not sure if it's on-line yet, so keep checking back.
