Betsey Wright, the former aide to Bill Clinton who now devotes much of her time to work against the death penalty, has written an open letter to Gov. Huckabee on behalf of Death Row inmate Don Davis, who wants to lift the veil that the state Correction Department throws over the process. It is, of course, the view of death penalty opponents that more exposure of the details of the procedure and the deaths might move more people to oppose capital punishment. But, in principle, it’s hard to argue with as much openness as possible when the state takes a life. A lawsuit may yet be filed on this issue.
