Calls for beheading to replace machine gun executions A prison chief in Thailand has called for beheading to be introduced after the government agreed to change the state's method of capital punishment. During a cabinet meeting it was decided that lethal injections would replace machine gun executions, because it is more humane. But Corrections Department chief Siva Saengmanee says the ancient method of beheading would be cheaper and act as more of a deterrent. The proposal to change Thailand's capital punishment method still has to to be passed through parliament. Currently prisoners are blindfolded and strapped to a pole before they are executed by machine gun. More than 300 criminals have been executed in this way since it was introduced in 1935. -- A guy I went to school with saw one of these executions, they tie them to a pole and machinegun them with an M60. I think that is a pretty good deterrent! Steve.
