Sorry Alan, although I am very much against the death penalty,except in extreme circumstances, I am with CS here.

I think it is the height of hypocrisy, for American citizens to criticise other nations for using Capital punishment.

In this particular case, it seems the woman and her lover planned to murder her husband .....if this is a capital crime in Iran then we have no more right to interfere....than we have in US judicial killings.

The US electorate must put their own house in order.
