The Doctor, the Death Penalty, and Bluegrass Politics

Kentucky's Governor may have signed away his medical license when he signed a convicted killer's death warrant. Gov Ernie Fletcher (R-KY) is also a doctor. American Medical Association rules bar doctors from taking part in any execution either directly or indirectly. Some doctors opposed to the death penalty are challenging Governor-Doctor Fletcher's license to practice medicine. (MSNBC)
