Commentaries about lethal injection mess

Newspaper columnists and editorial writers are catching up with all the lethal injection news nationwide (highlights here and here). Here are links to some of their insights:

• From the Baltimore Sun here "O'Malley's call"

• From the Myrtle Beach Sun News here, "'Cruel' punishment standard loosens"

• From the San Francisco Chronicle here, "A humane death penalty?"

• From the San Francisco Examiner here, "The governor and the death penalty"

• From the Sun-Sentinel here, "No humane way about it"

• From the Tucson Citizen here, "Debate on botched execution in Fla. ignores victims' agony"

For my basic perspectives, check out:

• My lethal injection piece on SSRN
• Isn't it finally time for Congress to do something about lethal injection problems?
• Who will demonstrate lethal injection leadership?
