“Part of the issue with the death penalty as we express it in the United States is that we attempt to make it overly humane. Exercising the death penalty is not humane and never will be. It is the killing of another human being and it is hypocritical to attempt it with doctors, nurses, etc. We need to start using methods that are fast, reliable and foolproof. If hanging was good enough for Saddam Hussein, it’s good enough for common criminals.”
