The military has quietly released new rules for conducting military executions, characterizing them as "a major revision." As this Reuters article notes, this may signal an imminent execution -- the first conducted by the military since 1961.
One interesting wrinkle to the new rules: they allow executions to be carried out at any military prison, not just the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, which houses the military's lethal-injection chamber. So, as the BBC article on the change wonders...are they gearing up to execute people at Guantanamo?
