Coerced Confessions and Jailhouse Snitches: Why the Death Penalty Is So Flawed
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32438-coerced-confessions-and-jailhouse-snitches-why-the-death-penalty-is-so-flawed
Brandon L. Garrett, The Conversation: The death penalty itself cannot be made foolproof - and, high-profile murder investigations may be even more prone to tragic errors. This is a problem internationally and in any criminal legal system, since error is inevitable. The death penalty makes those errors irreversible.
Why Is Israel's Nuclear Arsenal Not Mentioned in Iran Deal Debate?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32442-why-is-israel-s-nuclear-arsenal-not-mentioned-in-iran-deal-debate
Jonathan S.

http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32444-who-s-the-real-troublemaker-in-the-middle-east
Medea Benjamin, OtherWords: Oddly, when the candidates complain about the "evil forces of radical Islam" or trouble in the Middle East, they never seem to mention Saudi Arabia. Iran's no democratic paradise. But on many counts, Washington's Saudi allies are even worse.

<p style="margin: 0;padding: 0;font-size: 100%;color: #444 !important;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;line-height: 1.1"><strong>Brandon L. Garrett, The Conversation:</strong> The death penalty itself cannot be made foolproof - and, high-profile murder investigations may be even more prone to tragic errors.

Landay, McClatchy DC:</strong> There's one major issue that President Obama, his supporters and his critics assiduously have avoided as they battle over the deal designed to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons: Israel's own nuclear arsenal.
