Gulf War Syndrome Made Him A Rapist
By Kate Randall, 10 April 2003
 

The US is a leader not only in incarceration, but also in capital punishment. There are more than 3,600 condemned inmates on death rows across the US. On March 19, on the eve of the Bush administration's attack on Iraq, federal death row inmate Louis Jones, 53, was put to death. Jones was a veteran of the 1991 Gulf War, and his lawyers argued that he suffered from Gulf War Syndrome, which made him  violent and drove him to rape and murder a young servicewoman. President Bush rejected his appeal for clemency.
