DEATH ROW--death penalty in America

[username]

I really have a hard time believing that Cuba, Guyana and a few others in there have not used capitol punishment. Where did this list come from the white house?

The all-knowing Wikipedia. Okay, here's another list (and link) which doesn't include the italics on who has/hasn't actually carried out a death sentence in the past 10 years:

Death Penalty Permitted

•Afghanistan
•Antigua and Barbuda
•Bahamas
•Bahrain
•Bangladesh
•Barbados
•Belarus
•Belize
•Botswana
•Chad
•China (People's Republic)
•Comoros
•Congo (Democratic Republic)
•Cuba
•Dominica
•Egypt
•Equatorial Guinea
•Ethiopia
•Gambia
•Guatemala

•India

•Singapore
•Somalia
•South Sudan

Still I see very few of what I what call our most civilized, 1^st world allies on that list. They all seem to be on this list (along with some countries that I'm surprised don't have the d.p.):
