To Tweet Or Not To Tweet An Execution

I just received an interesting Twitter message from Ron Callari, who discussed the recent decision by Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff (pictured in AP pool photo) to use Twitter to cover the execution by firing squad of Ronnie Lee  Gardner Friday. Writes Callari: “A lot of controversy has been cyber-ventilating the collective blogo-and-twitterspheres today as the result of Utah’s attorney general need to provide a blow-by-blow lead-up to a firing squad execution via Twitter. Some have labeled it a ‘tweet too far.’” Among the last tweets of the event from Callari was this one: “I just gave the go ahead to Corrections Director to proceed with Gardner’s execution. May God grant him the mercy denied his victims.” You can read Callari’s report on Inventor’sSpot.com here .

Question: Would you consider this a “tweet too far”?
