Gov. Gary Locke's Statement on the Death of Paul Johnson

Gov. Gary Locke, in Washington D.C. today, issued the following statement about the death of Paul Johnson:



"The brutal execution of Paul Johnson, an American citizen in Saudi Arabia, was absolutely disgusting, shocking and appalling. The death of another of our citizens in this barbaric manner is especially heinous and uncivilized as Mr. Johnson was an innocent civilian.
