The Death Penalty

I'm a moderately pro-life libertarian.  I don't really know much about the death penalty yet, and haven't formulated a position on it yet.  My initial inclination is to be against it, but I'm not sure yet.  If anyone has some strong views on this from a libertarian perspective, and would like to influence me, speak up, now is the time. 

>>8 "The goal isn't to punish them, it is to remove them from society so they can't harm more people, and maybe to rehabilitate them." Smyeah right. In the case of the DP, it's revenge. Inmates on life or awaiting the DP should be able to take their own life at any time, not have to be exhibited in front of a bunch of lvindictive, simple-minded excuses for Americans.
