Huh. 'Madden said the drugs are not compounded and are FDA approved.'https://twitter.com/ap/status/782960040667930624 …

FDA-approved execution drugs that haven't been compounded have been incredibly difficult to come by in recent yearshttps://twitter.com/ap/status/782960040667930624 …

As ever, read @csmcdaniel on the shady world of execution drug sourcing https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrismcdaniel/this-is-the-man-in-india-who-is-selling-states-illegally-imp?utm_term=.ee0wy851M#.nmOenmlM2 …

The death penalty ebbs and flows in the national conversation, but who goes to that hearing if AP cuts back, too?

Anyway the FDA has been pretty hard on states importing execution drugs. Interesting that Ohio says its are approved http://www.texasmonthly.com/the-daily-post/the-fda-confiscated-a-supply-of-execution-drugs-texas-is-thought-to-have-imported-illegally/ …

Mind you, even the companies that make the execution drugs don't want them used that way http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/05/14/us/pfizer-execution-drugs-lethal-injection.html …
