Compassion

I must confess, I honestly do not understand the objection to allowing a terminally ill prisoner — no matter how great his crime — the opportunity to return home for his final days. I know some people have a great difficulty with the idea of "forgiveness" (and I have no place speaking for anyone who has suffered such a terrible loss), but this isn't even about forgiving — this is simply a matter of compassion. Making this a stronger and more loving world, even in the face of horror and destruction.
