50 years ago, in Feb 1976, President #GeraldFord signed Executive Order 11905, which directed that “no employee of the United States Government shall engage in, or conspire to engage in, political #assassination.” There should be no tears…for #Khamenei, who for 4 decades oversaw a repressive state with terroristic tentacles that extended throughout the world. But it is worth looking at why presidents of both political parties have long been wary of the #StateSponsoredMurder of foreign leaders.

Who are the death row executioners? Disgraced doctors, suspended nurses and drunk drivers

@helenprejean Thank you, Sister Helen for all that you do. I’m a newbie here, too so these are guesses. There are no hard and fast rules on this except those set by your host server (instance) in its code of conduct. Use your judgment, and there are few people whose judgment I trust more than yours. This place is heavily dependent on hashtags, so I think if you include hashtags like #DeathPenalty or #Execution or #StateSponsoredMurder people can mute those topics.
