The U.S. Constitution prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. State murder seems to be cruel, if not unusual. America is totally out of step with civilized society on this issue. No other OECD nation engages in such barbarity. We have more in common with the barbaric practices of Saudi Arabia and Somalia than we do with the rest of civilization.

Is the following some kind of mind-bending oxymoron?> In a rare public appearance Wednesday, CIA Director Porter Goss said he is overwhelmed by the many duties of his job, including devoting five hours out of every day to prepare for and deliver intelligence briefings to President Bush. "The jobs I'm being asked to do, the five hats that I wear, are too much for this mortal," Goss said. "I'm a little amazed at the workload." Goss, a CIA clandestine officer for 10 years who retired in 1972, said it takes him five hours every day to prepare and deliver the president's daily briefing, calling Bush "a voracious consumer of intelligence."
