Report: Bush OKs Execution for Army Private on Death Row

WASHINGTON —  Administration officials have told The Associated Press that President Bush approved the execution of an Army private, the first such action by a president in 51 years.

Bush signed the paperwork on Monday from the Oval Office, said the officials, who agreed to reveal his decision only on grounds of anonymity. They said he approved the military's request to execute Ronald A. Gray, now 42. Gray was convicted in connection with a spree of four murders and eight rapes in the Fayetteville, N.C., area over eight months in the late 1980s while stationed at Fort Bragg.

U.S. military personnel cannot be executed unless the president approves it. Gray has been on death row since 1988.

I am torn on the death penalty, regardless of anybody's achievements.

It was a big surprise to me that Bush didn’t empty out the military’s death row.

It was a big surprise to me that Bush didn’t empty out the military’s death row. 

If I had such authority, it would be wiped out in ten minutes.

What ever they did to merit death, they at least were man enough to join the Army….

Personally, I am not for the death penalty. I don't believe that being in the military gives you the right to murder and rape. These actions of this man were not military related, He was a serial killer ande should pay just as any other serial killer.

I never said that joining the Army gave this guy the right to murder and rape; I am don't understand how you came to that conclusion.
