	Posthumous execution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Posthumous execution is the ritual execution of an already dead body.
		In Christian countries until relatively recently, it was believed that to rise on judgement day the body had to be whole and preferably buried with the feet to the east so that the person would rise facing God.
		A Parliamentary Act from the reign of King Henry VIII stipulated that only the corpses of executed murderers could be used for dissection.

	Capital punishment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Historically, the execution of criminals and political opponents was used by nearly all societies both to punish crime and to suppress political dissent.
		On 30 November 1786, after having de facto blocked capital executions (the last was in 1769), Leopold promulgated the reform of the penal code that abolished the death penalty and ordered the destruction of all the instruments for capital execution in his land.
		Execution is seen by many as an appropriate retribution for murder, specifically for premeditated murder and for murders with especially heinous circumstances such as rape and torture.

	Wikipedia: Oliver Cromwell
		The so-called "second civil war", which broke out in 1648 after Charles I's escape from prison, suggested to Cromwell that no compromise with the king would be possible.
		Many hold Cromwell responsible for the execution of Charles I in January 1649, although there were 59 signatories to the death warrant.
		This should have been the end of the story but in 1661 Oliver Cromwell's body was exhumed from Westminster Abbey and was subjected to the ritual of a posthumous execution - on January 30, the same date that Charles I had been executed.

		Crucifixion is an ancient method of execution (execution: Putting a condemned person to death), in which the victim was tied or nailed to a large wooden cross (Latin (Latin: Any dialect of the language of ancient Rome) : crux) and left to hang there until dead.
		In fact, crucifixion is only an arbitrary subset of a much wider continuous spectrum of slow and painful execution methods, which include varied forms of impalement (impalement: The act of piercing with a sharpened stake as a form of punishment or torture), hanging from hooks, burning at the stake, exposure to wild beasts, etc.

	Oliver Cromwell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although he was later involved in the King's overthrow and execution, Cromwell did not start the civil war as a radical republican; rather, he did so with the intention of forcing Charles to reign with the consent of Parliament, and with a more consensual, Protestant, religious policy.
		Within two years of Cromwell's death on September 3, 1658, Parliament restored Charles II as king, as Cromwell's son Richard Cromwell had proved "an unworthy successor", who had unwisely allowed the split between Parliament and the New Model Army to go too far, and had supported the Parliament against the Army.
		In 1661, Oliver Cromwell's body was exhumed from Westminster Abbey, and was subjected to the ritual of a posthumous execution – significantly, this took place on January 30 – the same date that Charles I had been executed.

		Although lower-class criminals were usually executed by hanging at one of the public execution sites outside the Tower, and several high-profile convicts, such as Thomas More, were publicly executed on Tower Hill, nobles (especially ladies) were sometimes beheaded privately on Tower Green, inside the complex, and then buried in the "Chapel Royal of St.
		George, Duke of Clarence, the brother of Edward IV of England, was executed (for treason) in the Tower in February 1478, but not by beheading (and probably not by being drowned in a butt of Malmsey wine, despite what Shakespeare wrote).
		Historians have speculated, on the basis of these contemporary records, that the rumour that the princes had been murdered was deliberately created to be spread in England as an excuse for the October 1483 attempt of Henry Tudor and Buckingham to seize the throne.

		The ardor for posthumous execution builds every now and again in societies disoriented by change.

		A society so fixated on retroactive justice that it relieves a man 46 years dead of a 72-year-old prize sounds like one incapable of moving ahead.

		Also, as I discussed in previous articles, perhaps the most cogent example of Bush's cowardly sadism and bloodlust occurred when he was governor of Texas, the execution capital of the United States.
		After all, Bush knew that, in Texas, evidence in capital punishment cases was immediately destroyed after an execution, making posthumous DNA testing impossible, and thus making it impossible to ever prove that a wrongful execution had occurred.
		It also makes one wonder how many of those executed under his so-called 'watch' were innocent as well.
