They still execute people?
Its quite Ironic that the United States is so eager to portray itself as the pinnacle of Human Rights in world affairs. This move I would expect more from a nation of ignorant barbaric savages.
Considering some of the things that government officials in other countries do to both their citizens and foreign visitors, lethal injection is not that bad.
Yeah at least they don't behead people in the U.S. (like they do in Saudi Arabia), or use the breaking wheel (like medieval france and england). Still that's not saying much, on the barbarism scale it's pretty much right up there with Uganda.
No, certainly a slow, painful death would be about the only thing worse. Any planned unnatural death caused by a human being to another human being is cold-blooded homicide, is a heinous crime that deprives the individual of his most sacred and unalienable right, and does not befit a civilized culture.
