Bush approves military execution 

President Bush on Monday approved the execution of an Army private, the 
first time since 1957 that a president has affirmed a death sentence for a 
member of the U.S. military.

With his signature from the Oval Office, Bush approved the military's 
request to execute Ronald A. Gray, who had had been convicted in 
connection with four murders and eight rapes in the Fayetteville, N.C., 
area over eight months in the late 1980s while stationed at Fort Bragg.

A member of the U.S. armed forces cannot be executed until the president 
approves the death sentence. Gray has been on death row since April 1988.
