An open letter to the U.S. Congress

No public or live-streamed executions

1,132 so far! Help us get to 2,000 signers!

The NYT reports that Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, who perpetrated a horrific shooting at Ft Hood is going to be publicly executed and potentially live-streamed. While his crime was horrendous, the decision to publicly air his execution is immoral and dangerous. If the NYT report is true, I urge you to strongly oppose it or call the Secretary of Defense to the hill to testify. Whether or not Hasan deserves to die, no American should be encouraged to witness the death of another human being. This proposal turns a serious crime and its punishment into blood sport, and it is sickening.
