House lawmakers soundly rejected Gov. Mitt Romney's
death penalty bill yesterday, dashing the Republican
governor's hopes of establishing a national "gold standard"
for capital punishment in liberal Massachusetts.
Romney had touted the bill as foolproof, saying it would
have strict safeguards and seek executions in "very, very
rare circumstances," such as terrorism, serial killing or
murdering police officers or other public servants.
But critics in the House said there's no way to craft a
foolproof death penalty bill and that innocent people
could still be put to death.

"The army that will defeat terrorism doesn't wear uniforms, or drive
Humvees, or calls in air-strikes. It doesn't have a high command, or
high security, or a high budget. The army that can defeat terrorism
does battle quietly, clearing minefields and vaccinating children. It
undermines military dictatorships and military lobbyists. It subverts
sweatshops and special interests.Where people feel powerless, it
helps them organize for change, and where people are powerful, it
reminds them of their responsibility." ~~~~ Author Unknown ~~~~
