Although I wasn't aware of the particulars about Zyklon B, I agree that it's inaccurate to say that it's the same product that Arizona likely will use if and when it recommissions its gas chamber. Thank you for your informational post.

As for the gas chamber, I am reminded of Susan Hayward's portrayal of condemned inmate Barbara Graham in the 1950's in Arizona. Although the plot of that movie also distorted the facts, according to Wikipedia, it was very accurate in portraying how her execution in the San Quentin gas chamber was carried out.

Personally I am opposed to the death penalty and am saddened by Arizona's plans to resume executions. It just perpetuates evil.
