Interesting news for fans of the Law of Unintended Consequences.
Europe doesn't allow the death penalty, but is good at making the drugs to execute criminals in America.
Europe banned the export of these drugs, because of the use the Americans were putting them to.
Since the Americans have had to find other drugs, the average execution has taken a lot longer, perhaps 20 minutes more, and, as we saw in Oklahoma the other day, the prisoner can die in pain.
What is the answer to this (other than the USA banning the Death penalty, which is unlikely)?
It is for an American company to buy the companies which make the drugs, then manufacture them in the USA. Obama should tell Pfizer to add them to its shopping list.
