Re: Texas still plans to execute killer despite U.N. order

This is an exercise in stupidity. Why didn't we just let these guys speak with their consular office? It costs us nothing, and its important for American citizens to have that right when they face criminal charges abroad. On the other hand, if you murder on American citizen you face the penalty for the crime. I'd rather not waste money on the death penalty, but these men were tried in a U.S. court and should face its verdict.
