LAT editorial on capital punishment

The LAT offers irrational arguments against capital punishment in an editorial today, equating a stoning in Iran, an official killing in Communist China, a sentencing of six foreign medical workers in Libya and a mistaken jury conviction in the U.S. Apparently, the LAT sees no difference between totalitarian states and the USA.

The most compelling argument against capital punishment is that it involves the taking of a human life, which is precious and sacred, even if poorly lived, because it is God-given.
