Lisbon Treaty Allows Death Penalty
A little know fact of the LT - along, no doubt, with many more when its writing was in the hands of those most skilled in written deception. http://www.indymedia.ie/article/86592

I think it’s a case of lost in translation - “Furthermore, it will be lawful to kill, should that be deemed necessary to repress riot and insurrection.” Professor Schachtschneider I can imagine some Tories and Ukiper warming to the treaty if they thought it would bring back the death penalty.

As I pointed out to John Hein when he first proposed using this story, it is widely known to be a total fabrication who's originator has previously hadstrong links to the CIA. Apparently, in conjuction with a well known terrorist, the CIA now consider him to be too hot to handle and have no furher contact.
