|    Texas Finds New Drug Supply For Executio    |
|    12 Jul 14 06:48:15    |
      XPost: ba.politics, dc.media, soc.penpals       XPost: alt.burningman       From: chris.metzger@aol.com              Texas has obtained a new batch of the drugs it uses to execute       death row inmates, allowing the state to continue carrying out       death sentences once its existing supply expires at the end of       the month.              But correction officials will not say where they bought the       drugs, arguing that information must be kept secret to protect       the safety of its new supplier. In interviews with The       Associated Press, officials with the Texas Department of       Criminal Justice also refused to say whether providing anonymity       to its new supplier of the sedative pentobarbital was a       condition of its purchase.              The decision to keep details about the drugs and their source       secret puts the agency at odds with past rulings of the state       attorney general's office, which has said the state's open       records law requires the agency to disclose specifics about the       drugs it uses to carry out lethal injections.              "We are not disclosing the identity of the pharmacy because of       previous, specific threats of serious physical harm made against       businesses and their employees that have provided drugs used in       the lethal injection process," said Texas Department of Criminal       Justice spokesman Jason Clark.              The dispute in the state that executes more inmates than any       other comes as major drugmakers, many based in Europe, have       stopped selling pentobarbital and other substances used in       lethal injections to U.S. corrections agencies because they       oppose the death penalty.              http://keranews.org/post/texas-finds-new-drug-supply-executions                             --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
