message: I find it strange that there's no mention of lethal injection within this article. With the exception of the [present] moratorium, and drug companies distancing themselves from executions, lethal injection remains the method of execution in Oregon, not lethal gas.<BR>
There's no mention of how the transition from gas to injection took place.<BR>
