The use of lethal injection is the way of lying to ourselves, to make it look like executions are peaceful, benign--like going to sleep. And they're not. They're brutal things. Firing squads and the guillotine are 100 percent effective and leave no doubt that what we are doing is a violent thing. If we as a society are willing to take away human life, we should be willing to watch it.
