USA: federal capital punishment back on agenda (after 16 years) - [PEACE]

[John Young]

If the law is passed it might be grounds to block Assange's 
extradition on espionage charges, since, reportedly, UK does not 
extradite to capital punishment nations (although thinks black sites 
for accidental-death torture are god's will be done).

Nor doesn't mean that UK would not obediently also legalize official 
murder to make Big Turd and Toe Jam Barr happy. Action Official 
Secrets Act protected. Ka-chink.

What's the bounty for handing over Julian (by way of Gitmo)?
