re: Oklahoma to execute two condemned inmates on same day

quote:

---

The punishers are supposed to be better than the punished, and there's really no need for secrecy on the method unless there's some degree of embarrassment involved. Knowledge of the cocktail mix doesn't serve the condemned for very long, obviously, but it serves us in whose name it's being administered. I want to know how I'm killing somebody. I want that somebody to know how I'm killing him.

If we used a rope or a bullet then they would certainly know what was killing them, and the government could save money. Hell, the government already has all the bullets they would need.
