Governor George W. Bush and the Death Penalty

Sister Helen Prejean, author of Dead Man Walking, has written a very disturbing essay--"Death in Texas"--about Governor Bush's (and Albert Gonzales's) record with respect to capital punishment.  (Notice, in the essay, the way Bush responds to a plea from Pope John Paul II to commute the death penalty imposed on Karla Faye Tucker.)  Click here to print/read the essay.
