Rick Perry presided over the execution of an innocent man. The media needs to ask him about it.

The facts are pretty damning. Cameron Todd Willingham was executed for intentionally starting a fire that killed his three children. But all six of the outside experts who have reviewed the evidence of the Dec. 23, 1991 fire that killed the Willingham children have concluded that there is no reason to think arson caused the fire.

In other words, Mr. Willingham was executed for a crime that never even occurred.

And yet, in the Republican debates thus far, Rick Perry has gotten a free pass about it.

As Governor of Texas, Rick Perry oversaw the execution of an innocent man. Yet, no presidential debate moderator has asked Perry directly about his authorization of the execution of Cameron Todd Willingham. The media must do its job and make Perry account for his role in this terrible injustice.
