U.S. Quits Pact Used in Capital Cases
Foes of Death Penalty Cite Access to Envoys

The Bush administration has decided to pull out of an
international
agreement that opponents of the death penalty have used to fight
the
sentences of foreigners on death row in the United States,
officials said
yesterday.

In a two-paragraph letter dated March 7, Secretary of State
Condoleezza
Rice informed U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan that the United
States
"hereby withdraws" from the Optional Protocol to the Vienna
Convention on
Consular Relations. The United States proposed the protocol in
1963 and
ratified it -- along with the rest of the Vienna Convention -- in
1969.

Did *anything* good come out of the 60's?

Oh, come on. Surely you can't be THAT narrow minded.....can you?
