Hell on Wheels (Literally)

The Sunday Times of London this past weekend contained this chilling story about the latest in Chinese execution techniques. Apparently the authorities have decided to follow a model pioneered by the Nazis and bring the execution equipment to the condemned, courtesy of vans driven to the courthouse. As a result, some convicts are put to death less than 15 minutes after conviction. So much for appeals.
