Nikki Haley as a dangerous place "housing the worst of the worst of our convicts." It was a milestone in the career of Mike McCall, but the warden refused to let his wife accompany him to the ceremony. "He didn't want anybody seeing the TV or the newspapers to know what she looks like," for fear she could be become a target, said Clark Newsom, spokesman for the South Carolina Department of Corrections.

Kerry's comments come as US lawmakers are calling for President Barack Obama to do more to stop the bloodshed in Syria, including possible airstrikes against Syrian president Bashar al-Assad's aircraft fleet.
