The US Department of Justice has expanded rules governing executions to permit a wider rage of methods, including firing squads and electrocution, as five federal inmates are set to face the death penalty before Inauguration Day.
IIRC a lot of the agents used in lethal injections are imported from Europe, who view America's continued usage of the death penalty to be completely barbaric and uncivilised. They've been steadily cutting America's supply of these drugs off, which has resulted in the strange toxic cocktail mixtures used in some recent executions. I reckon this is in response to their ongoing shortages of lethal drugs.
This is exactly the reason, and worse still, the reasons most supplying countries give aren't even an opposition to the death penalty, it's because the US seems to love putting children and mentally disabled people to death.
That was disturbing. I am by no means religious, but there is something especially perverse to me about using a Bible or any sort of religious book to ensure that a child could be 'properly' executed.
