Lol, it's the freaking death penalty. If we were truly concerned about cruelty, we wouldn't be killing people. The only reason to use drugs is to try and convince ourselves that we're not as bad as the people we're executing. I say if the state is squeamish about using the guillotine, then they should be squeamish about the death penalty in the first place.
Seriously though, if you are unable to get the drug you need to start making a lot of noise. That's bullshit.
