What I'm getting at is that we in America also kill people. Maybe not for rape, but definately for murder, treason, and probably other crimes that I've forgotten. If the Saudis think that rape is also a capital crime, then let them. If you don't want to be executed, don't rape. Personnally I'm in favor of getting rid of the death penalty, but I find it hard to get outraged at Saudi Arabia for a practice we too do, albeit for different crimes. But, this isn't like they executed a guy for stealing a loaf of bread for his starving children.
