nor is the case of lawrence russell brewer who was executed at 6:21 p.m.me yesterday in huntsville, texas. he was found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the 1998 hate crime murder of 49-year-old james bird jr. lawrence, russell brewer and two is had friends chained bird to the back of a pickup truck and drove along a bumpy asphalt road at 2:00 in the morning. they drove for at least three miles with james bird dragging 24 and a half feet behind them at the end of that chain. six hours later, when what was left of james bird's mangled body was found, the sheriff who found him at first thought he was looking at animal road kill. lawrence russell brewer's execution yesterday passed virtually unnoticed by the national media at the very moment when they were covering minute by minute developments in a possible stay of execution for troy davis, which was then followed by troy davis' actual execution at 11:08 p.m. in jackson, georgia. many protesters were heard on focusing on the injustice being done to troy davis. but the legendary civil rights hero dick greg

is a dangerous predator or russell and the wind? if is just the wind but you think it is a predator you may of false positive. you connect a to be but it is an accidental correlation. there is no causal connection. that is not a particularly high cost there to make. lot of animals make them. you become more skittish and cautious and move around and you have all seen how animals are like that in the shows on the science channel or the nature channel or the learning channel where they are superskittish particularly preyed upon animals. the reason for that is on the other hand if you assume the russell in the grass is just the wind and it turned out to be a dangerous predator you are lunch. you have been given the darwin award for taking yourself out of the gene pool early without contributing to the next generation. i am arguing there was a natural selection for evolution of the propensity to make more type 1 errors than type 2 errors. more false positives and false negatives. just assumed all rustles in the grass are dangerous predat

now mr russell so the chance he thanks for joining us first question if you would mind now that the u.n. security council has pledged to its help to turn libya into a democratic state what do you think are the chances for this actually to become reality. well the chances of becoming a democratic state are you know i guess maybe fairly good but of course the problem is that you have so many disparate interest among the rebels that there is it's certainly going to be a tough road and it's kind of interesting that the u.s. really wants to get into this quite as much i mean i think that it has a lot to do with self-interest in terms of trying to keep certain elements in the among the rebels from getting any from taking any power or any real power and of course those are the the elements such as you know the more islamic elements so there might be at some point a possibility for real democracy however the problem is is it going to be the democracy that america is going to try to help impose on and that i think is that could be the potentially the real problem how much is the united states an
