The satiric look at California’s search for lethal injection drugs for capital punishment on last month’s “The Colbert Report” was made possible by ACLU attorneys who used open government laws to gain access to documents revealing both the wasteful bureaucracy and ironic contradictions inherent in California’s death penalty, as I show in this video.

The clips of Stephen Colbert come from the December 15, 2010, segment of “The Colbert Report” titled “Tiny Triumphs – Lethal Drug Shortage” available online at http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/368731/december-15-2010/tiny-triumphs—lethal-drug-shortage

The American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California provided the clips of Staff Attorney Michael Risher, Staff Attorney Linda Lye, and Death Penalty Policy Director Natasha Minsker especially for this video.

Only a few years ago he was at an interview and was chuckling about a woman’s imminent killing on death row. Bush has the govenor’s of Texas record of death row killings and now he’s taking this to the presidency.

VANCOUVER (CBC) – U.S. President George W. Bush became the first American president in 51 years to approve the execution of a soldier on Monday.

Administration officials said Bush signed the paperwork approving the military’s request to execute an army private who has been on death row since 1988, the Associated Press reported……..
SORRY bUSTER — I gave you no thumbs either down or up.
I agree. He should be put to death. But that wasn’t the question. You must, also, remember that the death penalty in most forward thing developed countries is considered barbaric. I can see their point.

The man killed 4 people and raped 8 others

He should have died years ago

He is a disgrace to the military
