Three more major newspapers have turned against capital punishment, more evidence that “evolving standards of decency” are moving us in the right direction. Time to pull the plug on the death penalty.

Great piece of reporting and analysis on Iraq by Patrick Cockburn — not the kind of thing the so-called big boys (NY Times, Washington Post) tend to run.
Eric Alterman describes Cockburn this way:
The Middle Eastern correspondent for the British newspaper The Independent, he’s been on the spot from the moment when, in February 2003, he secretly crossed the Tigris River into Iraq just before the Bush administration launched its invasion. Often, he’s to be found in the most dangerous place around, completely
unembedded, ready to record the unraveling of Iraq under the pressure of American invasion and occupation.
Gives you a real sense of this mission’s inevitable failure.

The Record memorializes another soldier killed in Iraq — reminding us along the way that each death demands our attention and strengthens the case for bringing the troops home:
The longer the war continues, and the more towns that are draped in mourning, as
Lodi is, the louder will be the call to end the war and bring the troops home.
