"Moderate Caucus" chair urges Cheney's execution

From "The Maine Wire"

Rep. Chuck Kruger (D-Thomaston), the Democrat chair of the Maine legislature's Moderate Caucus, used his Twitter account to express his view that former Vice President Dick Cheney should be executed. This comment has led some to question the validity of Kruger's moderate credentials.

Kruger made the statement through his Twitter account this past summer, saying, "Cheney deserves same final end he gave Saddam. Hope there are cell cams," a reference to technology that would allow Kruger to watch the proposed execution of the former Vice President of the United States.

A tip alerted The Maine Wire to the extreme comment just days after Kruger led a meeting of the Moderate Caucus that featured a visit from Eliot Cutler, a former Democrat and failed candidate for Governor in the fall of 2010.
