[Miss Marple]

Most people haven't said anything about this except to comment on how annoying Colmes is. (By the way, you are remarkably like Colmes.)

This is a decision of the Iraqi government. The US even suggested that perhaps (in deference to the UK and EU anti-death penalty position) that the Iraqis consider a life sentence without parole. They refused absolutely.

So take it up with the Iraqis.

And by the way, your name is curiously appropos.
