WASHINGTON — President Bush on Monday approved the execution of an Army private, the first time in over a half-century that a president has affirmed a death sentence for a member of the U.S. military.
With his signature from the Oval Office, Bush said yes to the military's request to execute Ronald A. Gray, the White House confirmed. Gray had had been convicted in connection with a spree of four murders and eight rapes in the Fayetteville, N.C., area over eight months in the late 1980s while stationed at Fort Bragg.
"While approving a sentence of death for a member of our armed services is a serious and difficult decision for a commander in chief, the president believes the facts of this case leave no doubt that the sentence is just and warranted," White House press secretary Dana Perino said

Good. Fry his ass. He's no soldier.

Good. I like justice. I just wish it didn't take twenty years.

May take longer. Last time a president approved the execution, it took 4 or 5 years for it to be carried out.

lets see if the left takes his side in this.

I suppose I can be happy as long as he is not allowed to die a natural death - not that the death penalty isn't natural - I mean from old age.

Well, do the crime take the punishment. Sounds like quite a POS. I won't be mourning for him. May his victims families get some peace.

I just wonder what death penalty opponents think the family goes through when their loved one isn't breathing, but the piece of shit that killed them is.

They don't care. Look at what they said when Tookie was finally up for his execution. Look at what they say about Mumia. They have no feelings for the victim's families.

yes, but this man is a "soldier" so I'm betting the left won't open their mouths!

Killing your fellow soldier is an act of cowardice of the lowest degree. Good riddance to bad rubbish. :evillaugh:

He's no soldier. He lost that privilege.

Hang 'em high.

I know, that why I put it in quotes. The left will think of him as a soldier though!

Do they still use a firing squad? :confused:

I am curious how they'll do it myself. Last execution was in the 60's and they hung him.

Believe they are going to use lethal injection, and satisfying everyone (even arguably) concerned on the protocol has eaten up years, but finally cleared up by the Supreme Court putting an end to the "Cruel and unusual" claims.

According to Army Regulation 190–55 (U.S. Army Corrections System: Procedures for Military Executions) Chapter 3-1, lethal injection must be used.

Since the Army has never done this, I wonder if they even have a facility built for it. If not, do they plan on building one? Or are they going to use a state facility for it?

Don't know about that. Would that be unconstitutional? I think federal institutions have them.

Excellent question dj. That regulation was revised in 2006 to specify the method of execution so I suspect that the Army has since updated the Fort Leavenworth military prison to accomodate such an execution method.
The link to the actual regulation is: http://www.fas.org/irp/doddir/army/r190_55.pdf
