Any WH comment on the Afgani convert to christianity facing death penalty?

[Inland]

Was it raised at the press conference. I can only find a snippet on a christian website that speaks of the usual suspects asking for action to intervene, but nothing about any action. Shouldn't the US speak up against a penalty for apostasy, or is it a case of, "you're muslim there, you're christian here, you're punished if you don't fit, it's all good??

CNSNews.com) - The plight of Abdul Rahman, the Afghan man who faces execution for converting to Christianity, has energized American Christians. The American Family Association is circulating an online petition, urging readers to contact President Bush and ask him to intervene in Rahman's case. The AFA message includes an email link to the White House, along with the following letter to President George W. Bush: "Dear Mr. President," the form letter says. "I ask that you intervene with the government of Afghanistan to save the life of Abdul Rahman who has been tried and found guilty of converting to Christianity from Islam 16 years ago. When told the charges would be dropped if he converted back to Islam, Mr. Rahman refused. The prosecutor in his trial has asked for the death penalty. Thank you for doing what you can to save this man's life
