A capital way to deter suicide bombers...

An item from Jon Henley's diary in today's Guardian that merits wider readership: "Bless the Mail on Sunday, which we've only just got around to reading, but hey. The first two missives on its effortlessly readable letters page seem, if we're not mistaken, to be calling for the return of capital punishment as a suitable deterrent to suicide bombers. Are we alone in spotting what some might conceivably call a fatal flaw in this particular proposition?" (Via The Guardian)
