Because Hanging is the specified, official manner of execution of the Iraqi government. Like LI would do any good, now you've got bleeding heart criminal lovers claiming THAT'S cruel and unusual.

Note that the phrase is "cruel AND unusual", not "cruel OR unusual." Therefore, the way I see it, hanging is quite usual, and therefore legit, regardless of any cruelty involved.

I swear we ought to make every adult kill a puppy in this country as a rite of passage. Got to get over this blasted weak stomach.

Thanks. If that's the form of capital punishment for Iraqis, then so be it.
