It was not clear exactly when or where the executions were carried out, but they were approved by the supreme court in Xinjiang province, in China’s far northwest, the official New China News Agency reported.

Jeez, since last October? They must have a lousy attorney, who didn’t get a stay of execution for them. Jeez, here it would take about 50 years before we kill them.
This is horrible!
I may shed a tear.
To save America money, why not just empty out Gitmo, and have the prisoners take a dive from a helicopter over the bay, from 200 fett altitude?
I mean, we just went through Discovery Channel’s Shark Week, and it would seem fitting to provide a means for those species televised, to be fed to ensure their endurance, and for Discovery Channel to film it.
