Robert Scheer, Creator s Syndicate: 'The most egregious argument for capital punishment is the claim that the finality of officially condoned killing is a necessary guarantor of civilized order. It s egregious because it is not possible to make that case without explaining why most of the democratic societies that we admire shun the death penalty as contrary to their most deeply held values. Or is it China, Iran, North Korea and Yemen - which, along with the United States, lead the world in government executions - that we most admire? There s something stunningly disgraceful about the company we keep on this issue.'
