Last fall, the U.N. Commission on Human Rights delegated one Bacre Waly Ndiaye of Senegal to investigate capital punishment in the U.S.A. And Brother Ndiaye is not pleased with what he has found.

Ndiaye flatly charges America with using the death penalty in a racist way. Informed that Americans support it, Ndiaye sniffs, “In many countries, mob killings and lynchings enjoy public support as a way to deal with violent crime and are often portrayed as ‘popular justice.’ Yet, they are not acceptable in any civilized society.”
