testing could confirm his guilt or it is shown to be innocent and there are some significant questions skinner about his guilt one when he was hours away from execution and perry. is fighting d.n.a. testing in this case i mean it's really unfathomable to me that a governor would actually fight to you know not to remain in whether a guy is innocent or not i mean that's me is really sort of unforgivable you know it's one thing to support the death penalty and we're going to say we're going to execute this guy and we really don't care to find out whether or not he's innocent and that is something and i think kerry needs to be held accountable or like i think there are i hope that we start hearing our questions about that from other reporters and you mentioned well and have only had case the skinner case what about the case recently as well where a mexican citizen was actually executed even though you know perry basically just spit in the face of international law there when it came to the fact that he should have been given the right to speak to the consulate how many other cases are there that r

more questions about that from other reporters now you mentioned the will and will have case that skinner case what about the case recently as well where a mexican citizen was actually executed even though you know perry basically just spit in the face of international law there when it came to the fact that he should've been given the right to speak to the consulate how many other cases are there that really look so bad on perry's parents record. well i mean there are lots of cheese in texas where i mean you know dallas county alone as i had seen more exonerate d.n.a. exonerations than all but i think three states so that mean there's every reason for perry to be skeptical of his own from the state's criminal justice system and to to wonder if you know it's making some pretty huge monumental errors here and again i mean this this goes this cuts against everything conservatives claim to stand for which is that you know you're supposed to be skeptical of government you're supposed to you know understand the government has enormous and awesome power and we're supposed to keep checks on and

us to remember what our country looked like in 1965 and the continuing struggle for civil rights skinner -- seem to turn this country into zero warring factions. it is now almost universally acknowledged that the vietnam war. >> there is a uniformly accepted view the the war in vietnam was wrong. most people except the fact of we lost the war. everybody agrees it was a bad war. >> of the time, many insist america was making an important stand against communism, and to question the ongoing war was tantamount to treason, so when dr. king said he was going to publicly oppose the war, there was a media conflict. dr. king's friend and ally, harry belafonte, remembers. >> i believe very strongly dr. king understood with great clarity what it was he was getting into with the efforts of the peace movement and resistance of the war in vietnam. he was not just speaking philosophically to the issues of peace but was also speaking strongly to the issues of american political policy. >> it was that decision to speak out against war policy that made movement angry. why incur the wrath of lyndon johnso
