Current Events: Death Penalty

John McCain, US Senator (R-AZ), stated in "The NAACP 2008 Presidential Candidate Civil Rights Questionnaire" (2.4MB) on the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) website (accessed Aug. 20, 2008):
"I support the death penalty for heinous crimes in which the circumstances warrant capital punishment. I have supported legislation that sought to expand the number of federal crimes punishable by death, including terrorism and narcotics trafficking by drug kingpins."Aug. 20, 2008 John McCain
